However, I know the best people to approach here are either Joe or Marcus Gilstrap. They know everything there is to know about the Gilstrap family to which we are connected and are extremely helpful. I will have more time in the New Year to explore the English Gilstrap or Gellestrap end here. The name sounds flemish/dutch or huguenot to me which is an interesting line of enquiry! Good luck in your search!
