Galstad-slekta Biri/Gausdal - emigrantar

[Gunnar Nygjerd]

Problemstilling

Paul Olson og og Christine Olson er søskenbarn og blir ikkje einige om namnet til tippoldefaren som emmigrerte frå Norge. Paul meiner (ifølgje faren) at tippoldefaren heitte Syler Galstad (uvanleg nam), medan Christine meiner ifølgje sin far at han heitte Lars Hansen Galstad (Strandbakken). Kan noken hjelpe dei med finne ut av dette? Familien kom frå Biri eller Gausdal.

 

Meldinga frå Paul Olson:

Gunnar, we have a bit of a dispute going on:). My father claims that Syler was our GGGrandfather who immigrated from Norway.  My father’s mother, Alma is a descendent of this Galstad.  But Christine Olson (her father is my uncle) and Jean (her mother was my father’s sister ) claim that it was NOT Syler, the direct descendent.

With all your savvy with genealogy, would you be able to search the records and see which one was the direct descendent.  They came from either Biri or E Gausdal(?).

Første informasjon - frå Paul Olson:

Subject: Galstad
While you were reading the Coon Prairie book, did you see where Syler Galstad ‘s wife died while in S Wisconsin…likely Koshkonig where there was serious diphtheria outbreak.
He and his daughter came to Westby and encamped.  Then he headed into the woods WITH HIS DAUGHTER to Black river falls.

Andre informasjon - frå Christine Olson:

Subject: Re: Galstad
Hi Paul
Dad had a copy of the Coon Prairie book and in it he indicated that Lars Hansen Galstad (Strandbakken) was his great grandfather.  See page 179.  He came to the Coon Prairie in 1850 with his wife Lene Evensdaughter Galstad.  Some of their children were born in Norway but our great grandfather Louis (sometimes Lewis) was born in the US.  (This is if the birth order is listed correctly.  Johannes, his next older  brother, was the first of their children to be born in the US.)  I've done a little research on Ancestry and it seems to confirm what I have written.  I do not know who Syler Galstad is and if he is a relative.  From Ancestry, he is not Lars's father but could be a brother or uncle.  The Coon Prairie book says he left Westby and died in Eau Claire.

Er det nokon som kjenner til Syler Galstad, eller eksisterer ikkje Syler?

[Ivar Steen-Johnsen]

Om Sylver: Jeg gjorde et søk i historisk befolkningsregister og det var null treff på det navnet. Siden vi åpenbart har funnet den rette familien her, så var nok Lars Hansen / Lars Galterud hans navn i Norge.  Kanskje han brukte Sylver som kallenavn etter at han kom til Amerika?  Mange endret, eller justerte navnet sitt etter ankomst der borte,  men særlig når det var vanskelig å uttale det norske navnet på engelsk. Det er jo ikke noe i navnet Lars i seg selv som skulle tilsi at Sylver skulle bli kallenavn, så der står vi.

[Gunnar Nygjerd]

Paul oppga namnet Syler - ikkje Sylver.

[Ivar Steen-Johnsen]

Det navnet gir to treff i histreg. Ingen av dem ser ut til å være relevante.

Takk for fantastisk god hjelp. No trur eg vi kan kåre ein vinnar i disputten mellom dei to søskenbarna. TAKK!
