Paal Elfred (Alfred) Falkelid b. 1898 in Suldal, Rogaland, arrived (immigrated) in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1924, unmarried, laborer. Father Nils Gabrielsen Falkelid, mother Kjersti Paulsd. (Paalsd.) b. 1867. His mother's sister Elrid MacDuff and family had settled in Waverly, close to Halifax, some years before. Elrid b. 1854 had two children, none had descendants, the daughter Elrid Segrid died in Calgary in 1996, 102 years old! The form Paal (Paul) signed upon entering Canada is the last sign of him. The family in Norway "had not heard from him since 1924". Did he just disappear? Or is the problem no available online resources in Canada? Any clues? Tusen takk/Thank you.
