Det finst ein del bøker utgjevne i USA, særleg Midtvesten, som liknar litt på norske gards- og ættesoger, jfr min artikkel i Slekt og Data nr 2/2006 s. 40-42.
I bygdebokarkivet for Lom finn eg kopi av ei side frå ei eller anna slik bok (med info om brørne Chris, Eric og Sylfest frå Galde i Lom), der det dessverre ikkje er påført kva county eller stat boka gjeld. Eg kan tolke personomtalane til å gjelde ein stad "Claresholm", men diverse søk gir ikkje treff i dei to viktigaste statane Minnesota og Nord-Dakota.
Eg meiner å ha sett nettstader der ein kan søke over heile USA, men finn dei ikkje att.
For ordens skyld, eg finn Clareholm i Alberta, Canada, men i kopien er det brukt det amerikanske referansesystemet for farmar: "the SW 1/4 of section 22" o.l. Hadde Canada same systemet?
Nokon som kan hjelpe?
Kvar i USA ligg Claresholm?

Re: Kvar i USA ligg Claresholm?
Thanks, Margit.
I corrected my entry probably while you posted yours. Do you know if the US system of farm references has been used in Canada?
I have seen occations of townships changes names, and the old name has been more or less forgotten. I wondered if the same could hae happende to Claresholm.
Chis Galde, born 1874, emigrated 1897. The copy states that he "moved to the Peace River area where he homesteaded near Fairview" and later indicates that this was in the same area as his brother Eric. I'm not able to find these place names either, but I suspect them to be in North Dakota.
And the third brother, Sylfest b. 1885, came to the town of "Fort Macleod in the Glenwood District" - Glenwood is in MN, but I don't find any Fort Macleod in MN or ND?
Do you have any ideas?

Impressing, Margit!
You got the same page I have (without any reference), and I guess it is page 247 in the book "Where the Wheatlands Meet the Range - Willow Creek" you refer to.
Thanks again!
