Copy of correspondence to try to acertain a way forward:

Managers of Baltzar Knutsson,

I am contacting you about this profile: Baltzar Knutsson

This profile seems to be an incorrect merge of different Baltzar Knutssons, and I have copied Bjørn Brox who is a curator familiar with this branch of the world tree and can help split the tree if neccesary.

see, my correspondence with Tomas Alexanderson (Tomas Alexanderson), below, for more detail.

It is not too important to me if this profile remains connected one way or the other, but as you are managers hopefully you can confirm which way you intended for the profile to belong, so that the world tree can be more accurate.

Your feedback is much appreciated.

Hi Torbjörn, I can see that you updated the realtives of my 7th Grandfather Knut Baltzarsson. Do you have any proofs that connections with your family is correct?

I can see in the sources that you have given that the names are similiar but is that all?

Knut father(Balzar Knutsson) is belived to come from a German familiy and not a Norwegian https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexanderson

Hi Tomas

Not sure which profile you are referring to, but this profile (Knut Baltzersen Gjerstad) is my 11th great uncle.

This Knut, who may or may not be your 7th Grandfather, is the son of Baltzer Edissen, jekte captain from Gjerstad, son of Ediss Gjerstad.

Ediss Gjerstad is my 11th great grandfather, and the line to him from me is documented in the About section on every profile - The sources are mostly publicly available census data, further verified by Hol and Buksnes Bygdebok.

I can't access the profile, because I am not a Pro member, but I wonder if your 7th Grandfather is the other Knut Baltzarsson , from Visby (I), Sweden (c.1672 - 1751) searching on the name makes him out to be Son of Baltzar Knutsson and Annika Larsdotter, Husband of Margaretha Strålenberg and Regina Fedder, etc.

I am thinking there might be two different Knut's, but if you can document on the profiles that connect you (Knut Baltzarsson → Baltzar Knutsson → Alexander Baltzarsson → Aaron Alexandersson Baltzarsson) then maybe we are talking about the same person.

Sincerely,

Torbjørn Nilsen
