[#23513] Nils Olsen Dalsbotn (Stegen) - Aurland Bygdebok Request

[Gjest Jim Bayard]

I am hoping that someone can help me. I am looking for any information about Nils Olsen Dalsbotn or his parents. I no longer have access to the bygdebok, but when I did, I found him on the Gjerløv farm married to Marta Alvsdtr. Ås. He was listed as Nils Olsen Dalsbotn, Stegen 48 b. I believe that he was born circa 1738. Thank you.
