Hi I was looking for any information of Bolstad's the emigrated to Boston. My last name is Bolstad however my great-grandmother was an ericson. I don't know much about my Norwegian heritage as I was raised by an Irish Catholic mother and her family came from Northern Ireland with rumors via Norway during potato famine era. Any help would be gratly appreciated. Thank You in Advance
If you search Ancestry.com for Bolstad, you turn up 500 or so people. It would help greatly if you could tell us where and when your great-grand parents lived. That is what US city and an approximate time frame, as well as names of the grand-parents and the names of their children and birth years when known. I infer from your post that your great-grand father used the last name of Bolstad and before she married your great-grandmothers maiden name was Ericson. Is that correct and if so what are their first names and where did they live when reaising their children and approximately when did they live there.
