By far the most informed researcher of David Gallarno is Jessica Louise Westphalen. Here are some exchanges found on genealogical message boards.
Hi Jacques,
Thank you for answering my inquiry.
David Gallarno/Galarneau wife's name was was Margaret. They lived in Harwich, Kent County, Ontario
in 1837 and I believe that Joseph Galarneau was living in that area also.
I Believe that David's father was Joseph Galarneau and his mother was Edith. David was born in 1808 and Margaret his wife was born in 1810. I believe that David had a sister named Elizabeth. George my Great Grandfather was born in 1827 in Ontario. George married a Mary Allen in 1848. Christianna Gallarno/Galarneau was a witness. I know that David, his wife, Margaret and two sons Charles and George and Geo's infant daughter moved to Illinois in 1850. I hope that you can help me.
Thank you
Louise
Hi List. This is my brick wall
I am still trying to trace David Galarneau/Galarno family. David was born Nov12, 1808 his wife Margaret Slater was born Oct 6 1808, they were married in 1826 probably in Kent County. His uncle Peter Galarneau was an innkeeper in Harwich, Kent County Ontario.
His parents were Joseph Gallarneau son of Joseph and Edith Gallarneau.
Gallarneau/Gallarno’s were living in Chatham Kent County area as late as Oct. 1850. David and Margaret Slater Gallarno children were George b. March 4,1827, married Mary Jane Allen in 1848, (Mary died in child birth or shortly after), Charles Gallarno born in 1829 married Mary Brown, William Gallarno b.1831, unknown Gallarno b. 1833-1834 and unknown Gallarno b. in 1836. David Galarno had a sister Elizabeth b. 1812 that married a Wood. There were also an Ehi (Elias?) Gallarno, Christianna Gallarno, Mary Gallarno Field that I believe are related to the Gallarno family. Elizabeth Gallarno Wood Granddaughter sent me this

It isn’t much to go on after 31 years of research but I was hoping someone might be able to give me some idea as to where to continue searching. Any help at all would be gratefully appreciated as I have been searching for my families since 1977. Thank you so much
