I have been trying to untangle my ancestors in Kroslie, and suspect that the information I have been given may or may not be accurate. I have: Ståle* ÅSUFSON KROSLIE born 1713, wife unknown, had: Lars* STÅLESON KROSLIE b. 1741 Anna STÅLESDOTTER KROSLIE b. 1752 In searching the LDS Christening records, I have also come up with: Ole STÅLESON KROSLIE b. 1744 Abel STÅLESON KROSLIE b. 1756 (Boy) STÅLESON KROSLIE b. August 31, 1760 died same day. Abel STÅLESON KROSLIE b. 1762 In a probate extract I have been given I find: Sk. 4.9.1788 Krossli i Gyland Staale Olsen og hustru Anna Larsdatter, gav opp boet Barn: 1. Lars Stålesen myndig 2. Siri Stålesdatter g.m. Jacob Frøytland 3. Anna Stålesdatter † barn: 3a. Ole Øyusen 9 år 3b Ane Øyusdatter 13 år Jord 6eng. – 3 eng i follaug ----------------- I also find a Christening for a Siri Stålesdtr., but her father is again listed as Ståle Olsen. She is also born in 1756, which conflicts directly with Abel listed above. These births are listed as father being Staale Kraslie. This information is supposed to come from the Bygdebok fra Gyland, on page 370, Kroslid. Can anyone shed light on this for me? My direct ancestor is Lars Ståleson, but I cannot find his christening record either. I have his marriage record, and the christening for his son, Karl Tobias Larsen in 1800. I cannot find any other children in the christenings for this ancestor. Does the Gyland book confirm this? If anyone can untangle this mess for me or has information on this family line, I would be most grateful. Thank you. Ellen Marie (Johnson/Johannessen) Coulombe
