I am looking for information on a Philip Golaz/Golas who was born in Switzerland about 1826. He emigrated to the U.S. and married a Minerva Virginia McShawn. He was father to John Henry Golaz, my great grandfather. John Henry Golaz died in Paradise, Wise County, Texas. He was married to Zippora Burns. Does anyone have any information on any of these people? Thanks in advance. Susan.

Wise County TX

Hi Susan, I may have some contacts for you in Wise County as I was just in Paradise with my Mother the other day doing some research on her family. If you read this you need to leave your email address on your reply or Email me directly as this forum does not publish Email addresses.

Hello, we must be distant cousins.
Flora Myrtle Golaz May, daughter of John Henry Golaz, was my grandmother.

Philip Golas (name has changed in US) married Minerva Mershon. The Mershons go back back in Revolutionary history and hold a big reunion every year. You can check what I have I think on my tree. It should be public. I dont' have any more info on Philip Golaz, but found an article on the internet at one time. He was involved in politics in Switzerland.
