Ludvig (Ludwig) Larsen Dynna was born October 27, 1870 (or November 28, 1870?) at Rock, Mitchell, Iowa to Lars Larson Dynna and Ingeborg Larsdatter Flatla. Ludvig had one sister, Lise Maria Dynna and three step-siblings: Brede Wamstad, Della Ingeborg Wamstad and Oline Wamstad. Ludvig was confirmed at the Rock Creek Lutheran Church, Meroa, Iowa on June 7, 1885.
