Aother descendent of NILS ANTON GYLANDER:
Nils Anton and his wife Carolina had 7 children. My great-grandmother was one of them.
My great-grandmother was Nils Rudolf Gylander's sister, Agnes Maria Gylander. She married Daniel MacDonald of Antignosh Nova Scotia in 1911 and they had four children,John, George, Rudolph, and Margeurite (who was called June) whom the mostly raised in Apponague, RI, USA. Rudolph MacDonald was my grandfather and he moved to NYC during the 1940s, married my Grandmother and they had two sons - one is my father, Larry MacDonald. He lives on Long Island, and I am Paula MacDonald Ferguson,38 years old and living in NYC.
It would seem that my fathers paternal grandmother (Agnes) and Wanda's husband's paternal grandfather (Nils) were brother and sister - and that my Grandfather Rudolph was likely named to honor his mother's brother Nils Rudolph.
Here is a family tree I found that someone else put together. It is an excellent resource for Gylanders (although I think there may be an error regarding Nils ANTON Gylander's wife's name.
