The objective of this project is to identify the Descendants of Olle Matthiasson // Olof Isgrå // Oliver Calk // Oliver Caulk down to the year 1900. This project will be based on the work "Olle Matthiasson, alias Olof Isgrå, alias Oliver Caulk and his Caulk/Calk Descendants" by Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig who is a Fellow, American Society of Genealogists., Fellow, Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, Historian, Swedish Colonial Society His work was originally published in Swedish Colonial News, Volume 2, Number 8 (Spring 2003) A copy of his work can be found at http://www.colonialswedes.org/forefathers/Matthiasson.html Since this work will cover William CALK (Born: 7 Mar 1740,Died: 18 Oct 1823) who Surveyed Boonesborough (of Daniel Boone fame), it would be nice to have a CALK to help in this project. Most of the files are in the correct place now, and after double checking them, this project will try to collect pictures and documents on as many of these descendants as posible
I will begin marking people in this project from top to bottom to assure that they are in the correct place in the tree.
Once I have identified these people I will start a research stage to document the work as much as possible.
If you have comments for this work, I will answer the questions as best I can, however Dr Craig has already done the foot work.
Any documentation that you may have should be attached to the correct profile. When you do this, remember that the family has more people named William, James etc tham you can shake a stick at. If you are not sure as to the correct person to attah it to, please notify me BEFORE attahing it to a file. It could stop some headaches later.
Thanks. Marvin
