Hello,
Seems my ancestor was recorded in Oldenburg around 1829 as follows:
Joh. Hinr. Galdas od. Gallas, seit 1829.
Where do you think the name Gallas originated, possibly Italy or would it be a German name?
Regards.
Pattie
Hi Pattie,
Gallus is a German name in the Latin form for St. Gall. I don't know if
this is the same.
