[#8735] Gjerlov (Gierløv/Gierløw?)

[Gjest Jim Bayard]

Does the surname Gierløv (Gierløw)come from the Gjerlov farm in Aurland?I am trying to determine if my ancestor, Marte Nilsdtr. Gierløv (Gierløw)came from the Gjerlov farm. The name seems very similar, but all that I know about her is that she married Ole Andersen Rein on 20 July 1817 in Korskirken, Bergen.I checked the Aurland II aettebok written by Anna Gjerlow and Anders Ohnstad. On pg 43, in the Gjerlov section, I found a girl named Marta who was born in 1785 to Nils Olsen Dalsbotn and Marta Alvsdatter. Nils and Marta were married in 1785. Nils was from the Stegen farm and was born in 1733 and died in 1802. However, the birth date seems wrong based on the marriage record. Could this be her?Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

This could be Marthe you mentioned born 1785: [url="http://www.sffarkiv.no/sffbasar/default.asp?p=result&paging=yes&ptype=single&db=dbdoypte&page=1&sql=low%5Fprestegjeld+like+%27aurland%25%27++AND+low%5Fforenamn+like+%27mart%25%27++AND+low%5Fetternamn+like+%27nils%25%27++&appinfogard=&appinfostol=&appinfourl=&id=4>LenkeBut maybe this is the Martha you are looking for?
