New Development - Peder Bottelsen update

Wow, finally, there seems to be progress in finding early history of the Bottelsens.

Thanks to Knut Bryn who is a specialist in this area of history in this part of Norway.

Peder is the father of the Bottelsen line, but the name came from someone, and that were Peder's father: Botolv Andersen.

Peder Bottelsen, christened Peer Bottolfsen, the 29 september 1763, in Lærdal, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway, to Botolv Andersen and Eli Peersdatter.

Botolv lived about 3-4 miles from Qvidingsagen, or Kvitingsagi that is close to Naddvik in Aardal. So that solved that mystery. If the information I have at this time is right, he were born the 05 Aug 1737 in Aurland, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway to his father Anders Tye and his mother Mette.

Botolv were married twice. His first marrige were to Sigri Olsdatter, the 20 sep 1753, who died 11 april 1762. They got Anders in 1753, Ole in 1756 and Endre in 1761

After this marrige, Botolv had Peer (Peder) in 1763 with Eli Peersdatter who he married 31 May 1764.
