Hi Barb,
I saw your listing on the genealogy website.
I spoke to Gerry's wife a few months ago (she was calling all the Austads listed in the BC phone book).My father-in-law is John Walter Austad and he had a several brothers, including one whose name was David.They were from Trail, BC.Uncle Dave has been deceased for about 20 years.I'm not positive about Uncle Dave's middle name, but he was in the airforce in Ontario around the time Gerry was born, which fits with what Gerry's wife told me (I'm sorry, I've forgotten her first name).The last time I spoke to her, I told her that Uncle Dave's son, also named David, lives in Abbotsford, BC.I don't think his phone number is listed.I can't speak for him, but my husband (Erik) and I are pretty sure Dave Jr. would want to know if he has a brother.
I note your listing is dated July 2001 - perhaps you've been able to find Dave Jr. and confirm whether his dad is Gerry's dad.
I haven't heard anything from Gerry's wife since I last spoke to her and would love to know if you were successful in your quest.Which would mean that Erik and his siblings have a new cousin.Maybe you could let me know?
regards,
Trish Austad
