[#31149] Lars Eliassen Hetland

[Gjest Ray Peterson]

My ancestral grandfather was born in Jaederen, Logaland, Norway about 1819. With the structure of his name can I assume that Hetland is a parish or a church?

[Gjest Yngve Nedrebø]

My guess would be that Hetland is the name of the farm on which Lars Eliassen lived. There are farms called Hetland e.g. in Høyland, Rogaland.
