Looking for the Aalseths
Lady SylviaI am trying to find any connections with my mother's side of the family. Her maiden name is Aalseth. Other ways it could have been spelled by others is Alseth, Aulseth, possibly Alset. If anyone could give any help, or point in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate. Thank You Sylvia
