Notes

  • !SO: D-022. FGR-175. (O-12: Rec #27). PROBLEM: D-022 states that Sylfest married Celia Gullixson. D-040 lists Peder, b. 5-12-1899, d. 5-26-1969, Marr. 11-4-1923. (O-12) lists Peder, same b.,m.,d. dates as D-040. NOTES: MRIN-1109 (attached letter) clarifies the spelling of Peder vs. Peter. Mark Peter Orwoll writes, "My dad looked up his birth certificate, which of course, also lists his father's name. In both cases it is spelled Peter (with a "t"), not Peder." Earlier persons may have had the spelling, Peder. O-014, from Robert and Richard Orwoll, indicates they have a Xerox copy of a page from the family bible in which their grandfather (Sylfest Martinus Orwoll) hand entered, in Norwegian, the birth records of his children, listing Sylfest Peder (with a D.). They add that their father, Arvid, also remembers it being spelled with a D.
