Oryl, When you search for Tyskland in Google, up come some pages in German -- and if you use the translate feature you see that the term Tyskland seems to be translated as Germany. I have never seen the term before, but if some of your family emigrated from Germany, that would be a reasonable conclusion. For example, here is a Web site with that word in the URL: http://www.tyskland-info.com/index_portal.html and when you visit it says Welcome to Germany.

Tyskland is, I believe, the Danish language word for Germany, Tysk being entomologically related to the German word Deutsch, I would suspect. -- Mercy, community solidarity, and dedication to the common good.
