I found a naturalization record for Harold - the image of the card shows same address as in 1930 census so confirms it is right fellow.

The image shows:
he lives in Olag. MN
He was born Vennersborg, Sweden
He is a farmer, self employed
He is single
He supports his mother and father
He is medium height, medium build, brown eyes and brown hair
Dated June 5, 1917
********
So since he was in MN in 1917 he should be in 1920 census - hopefully with parents, but I have not found him yet.
Here is his death

I haven't been able to find a marriage for Harold and Anna to find her maiden name.
Neither of them is in the Washington death index so while their SSN issued there they may have died elsewhere - do you know ?
