Det du söger er formodenlig Pjätteryd i Kronoberg Län i Småland, det ligger i endten Ljungby eller Älmhult kommune, jeg er ikke sikker på hvor kommunegränsen går og Pjätteryd ligger mer eller mindre på gränsen. En mulighed er at tage kontakt med kommunen og höre om de har arkiven från församlingen. Du kan også forsöge ta kontakt med Kronobergs Genealogiske forening og höre om de kan hjälpe dig.

'næfr' is 'never' in modern Norwegian (nynorsk and bokmål). There are a large number of farm names beginning with Never- (sometimes written Næver-). There is even a Neverholt (in Surnadal, Møre og Romsdal). > In my opinion, any connection to Furholt is tenuous at best. ....or none... except that both are a holt, small forest ot group of trees; Furholt is a group of pines ('furu'), and Neverholt most likely a group of birches ('næfr' is found on birches) Old Þórunn (or someone else) probably found a 'holt' of birches that could provide her with 'næfr'; thus Næfrholt.

According to Landnáma, this area was settle by a woman named Þórunn. She was from Telemark, so not very far from Aust-Agder. Landnáma does not actually state the name of her farm, but it's likely to have been Næfurholt. The oldest known mention of Næfurholt is from ca. 1200. Note that at that time there wouldn't have been any u in it and the æ would have been an oe ligature. So the name would have been Noefrholt. The word næfur refers to the outermost layer of a tree bark and holt is a forested area. Wouldn't a name like that rather have evolved into something like Nøfrholt or even Nøfholt in Norway? In my opinion, any connection to Furholt is tenuous at best. -- Halldór Árnason

I'm asking on behalf of a friend whose last name is Furholt. He lives in southern Norway, in the county of Aust-Agder, and his name comes from the name of his farm, which is very old. He got a photo sent from Iceland by a friend, showing a road sign with the place name Næfurholt. This is situated somewhere south east of Reykjavik. The question is: Does anyone have any knowledge on how to find out where the people came from, who named that place? He would of course be very interested to find out if they could have been settlers from Norway, from his part of the country.

I was going through my files and noticed I had managed to mess up a branch line. My source is well packed, so I'm hoping someone here can help me fix it. Karl August Wolf married Ida Elise Caroline Henriette Neergaard on 13 Jan 1852/3 in Aarhus. His parents were Hans Eiler Wolf and Cathrine Elisabeth Groth. It's her parents I messed up on. I think her mother is Bolette Kirstine Pedersen. Thanks, Christina

I have this from a probate extract. Is anyone familiar with the location Haugefloden? Am I correct in assuming it is a subfarm inside Sporkland, and does fest under Sporkland mean it was leased of/in/from Sporkland, or that it is attached to same? I cannot locate it on the 1801 Census... Sporkland i Bakke 9.12.1785 Sporkland p1 Haugefloden in Bakke (fest under Sporkland) Thank you. Ellen

At this point almost anything is worth knowing about this family, but for specifics, Ole and Inger's families, other dates and kids. And what's a BDM? The place information I have for all 3 kids is: Hellebaek, Lynge-Kronborg herred, Frederiksborg Amt, Denmark. I do notice I typed something wrong on my great grandfather, Carl Rasmussen's dates. I'm going to have to dig through what I have on him and confirm his death year and the date on the Knight's Order. Both were in the early 1950s.

Well, Knut, according to SCB (Statistics Sweden), there are 21003 "Ola", 2129 "Ole", 13380 "Olle", 485 "Olaf", 2237 "Olav", 129842 "Olof", and 41579 "Olov" in Sweden as of today.

Hi Peter Not that I can help with any information, but I see that you name several Klitgaard farms, what about Klitsgaard in Bøvling parish.
