I did some research on the name "Ganastarsie" or "Ganastarsi" and it turns out to be the iroquois christian name for Anastasia , kenenstatsi (spelled like this in mohawk) also there was a woman by the same name whom live near Kanawake Quebec, but she was the woman whom housed the famous saint Kateri Tekakwitha around that time.
This is incredible, they are my great (x8) grandparents.

Thia is incredible...the hardships these people endured..
