[#6310] Ryfylke - Pål Osmunds 1715-76 on Husstøl,Hjelmelan

[Gjest Marilla Schenk]

Brandal's bygdebok on Hjelmeland, book 2 sides 204-5 lists Pål Osmundson 1715-76 and his wife Alis Andersd 1704-69 as living on Husstøl but they do not seem to have been born there. I had access to the book for only a short time -I would like to find where they were born. Could either of them have come from Helgeland på Ombo?

Thank you very much, Tove, for looking up that information - if there had been a record of Pål born into either of those families shown in the church records it would probably have said so in the book so maybe I need to look somewhere else. Thank you again!
