The name Dahl

[Marlon Henvit]

I am having difficulty determining the origin of my ancestor Kirstine Hansdatter Dahl. I have four records of her.

1. Her marriage to John Christensen Trøllund 18 April 1743 Ansager, Øster Horne, Ribe
     1709-1744, Opslag 83.
2. Her death 23 October 1803 Sønder Omme, Nørvang, Vejle 1691-1808, Opslag 151,
    # 93
3. The 1787 census.  Vejle, Nørvang, Sønder Omme, Sønder Omme Sogn, Julingsholm,
     8, FT-1787, C2102
4. The 1801 census. vejle, Nørvang, Sønder Omme, Julingsholm, , 3, FT-1801, b8160

There is also a confirmation record in Ansager for a Kirsten Hansdatter in 1739, Opslag 77 but no additional information given.  I have searched for her birth in Ansager with negative results. I am wondering if the name Dahl could offer a clue. It only shows up at her marriage. Can anyone offer an explanation as to  where the name Dahl might have come from?

Hello Marlon

If you don't already have this, maybe you can find something new on this address.


Good luck.

Cheers,
Lajla

Hi Marlon

I think you'll find the baptism in Ansager, Ribe 1709-1744, ops 45, 3rd from the bottom on the left page. I'll transcribe what I can:

Dom 1de Adventus blev Hans
Jensens liden datter af Schou?
døbt og caldet Kirsten
Johanna Geils Datter bar barnet
fadderen Christen Pedersen
Søren Poulsen og Jens Jensen ?
af Schoulund (perhaps this is Skovlund?)

The record is clearer on FS, same church book, image 89

Doesn't answer your question about where Dahl comes from, but I hope it helps a little.

Good luck,

Pam

Little changed, but a more literal transcription:

Dom: i ^ma [prima] Adventis blef Hans
Jensens liden Daater, af Schouf
døbt og kaldet Kirsten.
Johanna Geils Daater bar Barnet
Barnet Fadrene Christen Pedersen
Søren Poulsen og Jens Jensens Hustrue
Af Schoulund.

I now see my problem. I only went so far as to check the transcribed records at:http://www.horsboel.dk/kirkebog/kirke.html The transcription shows the father to be Jens Jensen but even I clearly read Hans Jensen in the original record. Thanks so much to all three for clearing this up. I guess now Dahl is not so important.
