Peter Van Norstran was the name of my great grandfather. I never knew him. I heard he married a "Spanish lady," who was my great grandmother. There is clearly latin heritage. My dad looked VERY spanish. I do too. My dad was born in Montana. I didn't know him well either, my parents divorced when I was a baby. His name was Fred Edward Van Norstran Jr. (So one of Peter's sons had to be Fred Sr. He was a "Strong Man" in a circus or carnival - COLORFUL, huh!) My dad was born around 1910 in Bozeman, died 1973 in Portland, OR. He was a merchant marine. My mom told me Peter Van Norstran had retired to Arizona. Maybe records of his death can be found there. They should contain more info. It's good to find a Van Norstran. I've never met another one, before. Maybe we're related. You're welcome to contact me, if you like. Best of luck! -Jan :)
