I am looking for a description of the DAHL coat of arms. Dahl from Norway.
I have heard also the Dahl were linked to the Smor familly. Can you help ?
Thank you

Re: Dahl coats of arms & Smor in Norway
With most of the researches I have carried out over the years on the subject
of heraldry, most or many families, noble or not, in Europe, possess a coat
of arms. Individuals may personlise their own from the original coat of arms
by putting something else. In that way I will say it belongs to families.
Fylke, I do not understand.
If your question is what is the use or the need, I am after the coat of arms
of the Dahl from Norway to illustrate something. My great grand mother was a
Dahl and my grand mother, many times spoke about that linked between the
Dahl and the Smor. I am trying to find out, it there was a coat of arms for
that family and which one.

I have names of birth places, not valley or counties. The first cousin of my

how to do general genealogy research in Norway before you start looking
for a coat of Arms ?
A couple of good places to start, a sensible combination of search
terms on http://www.google.com will give you more places to start:
1) John Føllesdals webpage on rootsweb:
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~norway/
2) The DIS (Computers in Genealogy Association in Norway) web page:
http://www.disnorge.no/genress/index.php
I do descend from the Dahl, this is a fact.
You do descend from *a* Dahl. In English there is a big difference
between "descend from a Dahl" and "descend from the Dahls".
I skipped this thread so far because I only know about UK heraldry
and our FAQ
and because only naive internet users think there must be a coat of arms
for every surname
http://www.heraldica.org/faqs/mfaq
The Most Frequently Asked Question on rec.heraldry is:
"My name is Smith, what are my arms?"
A common variant is:
"Some guy in a mall told me he could look up my name in a database
and tell me my family arms? Can I trust him?"
The Second Most Frequently Asked Question on rec.heraldry is:
"My coat of arms contains a widget azure. What is the significance of a
widget in heraldry?"
This posting answers these questions. We've noticed that these questions
are usually asked by people from the US, so the answers are intended to fit
the US context. http://www.heraldica.org/faqs/mfaq

Well, then, i think many might be able to help you if you gave some
person name / place name combinations.
As Stein and some other norwegians have been trying to tell you, is that
there are _many_ families with Dahl (or Dal) as family names in Norway,
and they are not necessarily related to each other.
The writer Roald Dahl lived in Britain, but had ancestors in Norway,
AFAIK. You seem to have had at least one great-great-grandparent in
Norway, then. His or her name and birth place might be a good start for
someone able to help you to find a source for further investigation.

Re: Dahl coats of arms & Smor in Norway
To Harald.
Could you please inform us about your mothers parents name, so it would be
possible to try to find your ancestors?
Roald Dahls father was Harald Dahl, and I guess that it was Harald that was
your mothers brother?
After what I have found- Harald Dahl was from a farm outside of Oslo and
emigrated around 1900.
My suggestion is that we forget the "coat of arm question" until there is
found some person in this family tree that had a coat of arms.

the minimum to explain my genealogy. I have used a genealogy classification
used in France, I do not know If you are use to this. The commun ancester to
everybody has the N°1 and then the chidren are following with the number of
their father or mother + 1,2,3... Number of their place in birth.
1 X Dahl married to X
1.1 Olga Dahl (norway) married to Peter Christian Cilius Hansen (Denmark)
(my great grand parents)
1.2 .Harald Dahl, born in 1863 in Sarpsborg, province de Østfold ( Norway)
and was married to Sofie Hesselberg
1.3 Oscar Dahl married to Thérèse Biot ( Oscar left Norway to France)
1.1.1 Thérèse Ragna Hansen born on the 20/04/1907 in Frederikshaval
(Denmark) married to Yves de Maillard (my grand parents)

Sofie Hesselberg
1.2.2 Else Dahl
1.2.3 Alfhild Dahl
1.2.4 Asta Dahl
1.3.1 Erik Dahl married to Denise Babinet. From there I have everything as
this branch became french. My Grand Mother moved to France to Oscar's place
when her parents died. She then met my grand father...
As you can see the commun ancester is the N°1 X Dahl. This X dahl was at the

Re: Dahl coats of arms & Smor in Norway
Do you have any year for the birth of Olga, estemated or exact?
There is a person named Harald Dahl living in Sarpsborg in one of the
censuses (1865), and Harald has at this time a sister named Klara?
In case you don't know the birth year of Olga, do you know if she is older
then Harald?

Re: Dahl coats of arms & Smor in Norway
Harald,
Regarding Harald Dahl; the candidate Øystein indicates in the census
of 1865 for the town Sarpsborg is shown with family here:
<http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste.aspx?ft=1865&knr=0102&kenr=0272&bnr=0272&lnr=000>
Regarding Harald Dahls wife Sofie Hesselberg, I believe a middle name
has been noted as Magdalene, see for example:
<http://www.roalddahlfans.com/timelines.php>
I have have previously noted (also from some web-publication) that she
came from a middle class/burgeois family in Oslo (previously also
called Kristiania). One possible candidate can be found in the census
of 1900 for Kristiania:
<http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste.aspx?ft=1900&knr=0301&kenr=275&bnr=0019&lnr=01>
Please, use these references as indications of possible candidates
only, these may be completely different persons. However, these
families seems worth noting down for further searching.
I wonder where Harald and Sofie Magdalene married (presumably in
1911)? A marriage record from Norway would most likely give the name
of the the fathers. I don't know what it would be like it they married
in the UK.

Re: Dahl coats of arms & Smor in Norway
And we find the same Dahl-family from Sarpsborg some years later in
Kristiania in the census of 1900 for Kristiania, here with a daughter
Olga.
http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ft ... 007&lnr=03
Still, I advise to use records with caution. I cannot be sure if this
is the right Dahl-family. Dahl is a very common name is Norway. The
first names Harald and Olga are also quite common.

used in France, I do not know If you are use to this. The commun ancester to
everybody has the N°1 and then the chidren are following with the number of
their father or mother + 1,2,3... Number of their place in birth.
1 X Dahl married to X
1.1 Olga Dahl (norway) married to Peter Christian Cilius Hansen (Denmark)
(my great grand parents)
1.2 .Harald Dahl, born in 1863 in Sarpsborg, province de Østfold ( Norway)
and was married to Sofie Hesselberg
1.3 Oscar Dahl married to Thérèse Biot ( Oscar left Norway to France)
1.1.1 Thérèse Ragna Hansen born on the 20/04/1907 in Frederikshaval
(Denmark) married to Yves de Maillard (my grand parents)
1.1.1.1 Olga de Maillard
1.1.1.2 Christian de Maillard
1.1.1.3 Guy de Maillard married to Chantal Filhol ( my parents)
1.1.1.4 Erik de Maillard
1.1.1.3.1 Harald de Maillard (Me)
1.1.1.3.2 Axel de Maillard ( One of my brothers)
1.1.1.3.1.1 and 2 and 3 will be my sons, Hugo, Magnus and Félix.
1.2.1 Roald Dahl born on the 13/09/1916 in LLandaff, Wales, GB, married to
Sofie Hesselberg
1.2.2 Else Dahl
1.2.3 Alfhild Dahl
1.2.4 Asta Dahl
1.3.1 Erik Dahl married to Denise Babinet. From there I have everything as
this branch became french. My Grand Mother moved to France to Oscar's place
when her parents died. She then met my grand father...
As you can see the commun ancester is the N°1 X Dahl. This X dahl was at the
same time a grand father for Roald Dahl and a grand father for Thérèse
Hansen my grand mother.
I hope this is understandable
Best Regards,
Harald.

Re: Dahl coats of arms & Smor in Norway
Then, assuming we take the information presented here
http://www.bhac.org/home.html
to be correct, of which I quote a short section:
"Harald Dahl had lived in Norway. His father owned a small shop in a
town near Oslo. About 1880 Harald and his younger brother Oscar left
Norway to make their fortunes in the world. In Paris Harald met and
married a young French girl, Marie. He also met another Norwegian,
Ludvig Aadnesen. They agreed to become business partners. They set up
the firm of Aadnesen & Dahl, Shipbrokers. As shipbrokers they provided
the equipment for the ship and its crew and also supplied the coal for
the voyage."
I believe, it may make sense with the Dahl-family from Kristiania, as
that household includes a grandson Harald Dahl Aadnesen, born 1895 in
Durban (presumably South- Africa).
This boy is presumably the son of the married daughter in the
household, Clara Dahl Aadnesen. This relationship is, however, not
fully clear from the census record I referred to in my previous post.

Re: Dahl coats of arms & Smor in Norway
I follow up myself again with a couple of dates:
Going back to Sarpsborg, a search in "Familysearch", results in the
following christenings reorded in the church books for the town of
Sarpsborg:
26 Jun 1864; Harald
29 Oct 1865; Clara
03 May 1868; Ragna
31 Aug 1873; Olga
of parents Olaus Trulsen Dahl and Elen Thorine Langengen (or
variations of these names).
The Census for 1900 for Kristiania indicates that the son Truls was
born in Sarpsborg in 1876. However, I have not found any online source
for the christening of Truls (or for Haralds younger brother Oscar).

Re: Dahl coats of arms & Smor in Norway
I'd say you have a reasonably good match there.
So to follow the Dahls back in time, it is time to head for
the church records of Eidsberg (aka Edsberg) parish in Østfold,
and look for the birth of Olav/Olaus/ Olavus Dahl in 1834.
Olav father's name is likely to be Truls, judged from the 1865
census (Olavus Trulss. Dahl)

Re: Dahl coats of arms & Smor in Norway
First, it might be useful to collect the following information from
"Familysearch" on a marriage in Sarpsborg:
20 Jun 1864, Sarpsborg:
Olaus Truelsen, age 30, father: Truls Pedersen, and
Elen Thorine Andersdr, age 29, father: Anders Eilertsen.
So, it may seem that Olaus was the first person to use the Dahl-name
in this family. And we are given the name of the father of
Olaus/Olavus. Then, to Eidsberg, "Familysearch" also provides
information on a baptism in Eidsberg:
19 May 1834, Eidsberg
Olavus Trulsen,
father: Truls Pedersen
mother: Kistine Olsdr
Further, a marriage between Truls Pedersen and Kistine Olsdr, on 3 Jun
1830 in Eidsberg has been recorded in the "Familysearch"-database.
Of, course, I advice a check in the microfilms/microfiche or other
similar copies of the original records as verification.

Re: Dahl coats of arms & Smor in Norway
Harald,
In other postings in this discussion I pointed you to the family of
Olaus Dahl and his wife Ellen Thorine Dahl in Kristiania (Oslo), and
further information on their family.
One way for you to go forward (slowly and carefully) could be to
search for records of the deaths of Olaus or Ellen (possibly in
Oslo?).
Such records might provide you with a more secure foundation for your
further search in Norway. The family of Olaus and Ellen seems to me as
a very likely candidate family, but I would still advise some further
searches on this family, unless you already feel very comfortable that
this is the correct family.
Olaus and Ellen Dahl were about 65 years old in 1900. Unless some
qualified guess can be made for their actual dates of death, the
period of 1900-1935 should perhaps be searched in the death records of
Oslo to try to find out if they are recorded as died in Oslo. Death
records may include names of all of the living children of this
couple, possibly also on the places where the children is living at
the time.
Information on such records can be found at the site of the
Riksarkivet/Statsarkvvet (National/Regional Archives in Oslo) here:
<http://www.riksarkivet.no/arkivverket/kilder/medier/mikrofilm/mikrokort/dodsfallsprotokoller.html>
Alphbetical indices are available, however, not yet for use via

Actually proving such an origin could be difficult, so we may have to

Marie Magdalehne Iversen, Parents: Iver Hesselberg and Petrea
Leegaard.
Now, there is problem with her as the mother of Roald; she is called
Marie Magdalehne.
I believe other sources quotes Roalds mothers name as "Sophie
Magdalene". I think perhaps the family that I suggested previously in
this thread is a more likely candidate:

Perhaps a search at some later time will be able to tell us if this is
the right family.

I only looked at the Østfold branch, although I
associate Hesselberg with Larvik in Vestfold,
where another major branch of my ancestors came
from. I would guess she is the organist and
daughter in this family:

Roald has a daughter Else, maybe she is named
after Magdalene's sister?
But the Eidsberg track seemed more interesting to me!
Your Ahnentafel revealed quite a few interesting
names, although I couldn't find a direct link
between us... You have a great-grandmother born in
Hølen. Guess where I grew up!
Hi again Inger,
Nice to see our common connection to Eidsberg and Hølen! Perhaps we
that is, our ancestors
, will meet some time in the future.About your suggestion of family of Roald Dahls mother I don't think
this is the right family.

Hello again, Inger
Even though it was stated that Harald was almost 15 years older than
his wife Sofie, I believe the age difference could well have been
larger.
We have to remember that there has been somewhat of a prejudice to
large age differences, so I guess 15 years difference was the maximum
the person who provided this information would admit to. Remember also
that we have not yet seen a birth year for Roald Dahls mother
presented here (yet).
I don't think there are any myths around. Please consider the fact
that Roald Dahl lived not so many years ago, and that relevant archive
sources that might provide information for example on his parents
deaths may not have been accessible due to privacy regulations.
I was at the archives this afternoon. I looked at Sarpsborg church
records and found a couple of interesting records. This is what I
found (translated):
1864, Baptisms, #58,
Harald, born 4. Dcbr 1832, baptised 26. June 1864,
Parents: Butcher Olaus Trulsen Dahl and Wife Elen Thorine Langengen,
Adress: Dronningens Gade.
(Source: Sarpsborg Churchbook, MINI 1, 1859-1869)
1871, Baptisms, #33
Oscar, born 10. Decbr, Baptised 9. April
Parents: Butcher Olaus Trulsen Dahl, 37, and Elen Torine Langengen,
37, married 7 years.
(Source: Sarpsborg Churchbook, MINI 2, 1869-1877)
1876, Baptisms, #56
Truls, Born 3. January, Baptised 7. May
Parents: Butcher Olaus Trulsen Dahl, 42 yrs, and Wife Elen Torine
Langenga, 42 yrs, married 11 years.
(Source: Sarpsborg Churchbook, MINI 2, 1869-1877)
So her we have Oscar and Truls. However, Oscar seems to be 5 years
younger than Harald. And Harald was in fact born in 1863, but baptised
in 1864.
I also looked for sofie Hesselberg, but have not found any good record
so far that tells me more about Haralds wife Sofie, or correctly

Re: Dahl coats of arms & Smor in Norway
Harald Maillard, Inger and others;
Olaus Trulsen Dahl died in Kristiania on February 3, 1923 (the city
changed name back to Oslo the year after, in 1924).
A death notice was published in the newspaper Aftenposten, on
Wednesday, Febuary 5, 1923. It states (my translation):
"Olaves T. Dahl died this morning, nearly 89 years old, 3-2-1923
Clara Cammermeyer
Ragna Smedsrud
Oscar Dahl (La Rochelle)
Olga Aansen (Fredrikshavn)
Truls Dahl
Sons/Daughters-in-law, Grandchildren."
So, here are the five living children of Olaves(Olaus/Olavus) Trulsen
Dahl listed, the daugters with their married names.
The register of deaths for Kristiania tells us that he was a widower
(Which also can deduced from the above death notice) and that he lived
at the following address "Thereses gt. 14b" (Which happens to be the
road I travelled through upon leaving work this afternoon just before
4 o'clock. Nice coincidence )
the death record says he had five children, all adults, and a deceased
son with 6 children; 1 adult and the others minors), His wife Ellen
Dahl died about 12 years ago.
I guess the deceased son would be Harald, the father of Roald Dahl.
Any comments, Harald?
Best regards,
Jan-Ove Askautrud

In other postings in this discussion I pointed you to the family of
Olaus Dahl and his wife Ellen Thorine Dahl in Kristiania (Oslo), and
further information on their family.
One way for you to go forward (slowly and carefully) could be to
search for records of the deaths of Olaus or Ellen (possibly in
Oslo?).

1.3.1 Erik Dahl married to Denise Babinet. From there I have everything as
this branch became french. My Grand Mother moved to France to Oscar's place
when her parents died. She then met my grand father...
As you can see the commun ancester is the N°1 X Dahl. This X dahl was at the

Thanks for the encouragement, Inger.
I think I now will be able to conclude on who Sofie's parents were.
She has to be the daughter of Karl Laurits Hesselberg, whose family
was identified previously in this thread, see also further comments
below.
According to the death records of Oslo Karl Laurits Hesselberg died on
September 10, 1935, 81 9/12 years old. He left his wife Ellen
Hesselberg, living at the street adress "Josefines gt. 33", and three
adult children, two here (in Oslo) and one in England. The death was
reported by Astrid Hesselberg and Ellen Hesselberg, both on the above
street adress.
Both of the daughters Astrid and Ellen were unmarried and lived on
this adress at least until 1940.
His wife Ellen Hesselberg, nee Wallace, died on January 29, 1945. The
newspaper Aftenposten carried a death notice on Thursday, February 1,
1945. It says (my translation):
"Mrs Ellen Hesselberg, nee Wallace
left us quietly yesterday,
Oslo, January 29, 1945
Sofie Dahl, Astrid and Ellen Hesselberg
Grandchildren.
Funeral Service at the Old Crematory,
Friday, February 2, at 14:00"
From the above we may conclude that it is the daughter Sofie
(Magdalene) Dahl that is living in England in 1935.
Although I have no direct evidence, the information overwhelmingly
persuades me that this Sofie Dahl must be the mother of Roald Dahl.
First of all, her name (Sofie Magdalena Dahl nee Hesselberg) is quite
unique. We have been told (see above link) that Roald Dahls mother was
born in 1885. This is the same year that Karl Laurits Hesselbergs
daughter was born. Now, we are also able to confirm that Karl Laurits
Hesselberg indeed had a daughter, married Dahl, who lived in England
in 1935.
Now, I guess anyone interested might find it easier to continue
working on the ancestors of Roald Dahl on his mothers side from here.

Re: Dahl coats of arms & Smor in Norway
A few days ago, Harald de Maillard provided us with the following
input:
Now, I believe I can contribute sufficient information for our French
friend Harald to replace the "X Dahl" in the above with "Olaves
Trulsen Dahl".
A Probate Court record (recording and division of estate) was made in
Christiania following the death of Olaves Trulsen Dahl in 1923. The
record was made on February 22, 1923 and I quote most of it below:
[quote begin]:
The year 1923 on 23. February a recording transaction (or operation)
was performed at the Office of the Probate Court in the estate after
sausage maker (or pork butcher) Olaves Trulsen Dahl who died on
February 3, 1923 and on 15. September 1911 deceased wife Ellen Thorine
Dahl, Theresegt. 14B.
The transaction was conducted on behalf of the Probate Court Officer
by Eilif Birketveit in attestation of the undersigned witnesses.
Present at the transaction were:
Mrs. Clara Cammermeyer,
Widow Ragna smedsrud, and
Mr. Truls Dahl
It was informed that the heirs to the estate were:
1. Daughter, Mrs. Clara Cammermeyer, married to Machinist Siegfrid
Cammermeyer, Address: Bygdö Allé 18,
2. Daughter, Widow Ragna Smedsrud, Theresegaten 14B,
3. Daughter, Mrs. Olga Dahl Hansen, married to telegraph manager
Christian Hansen, Address: Fredrikshavn, Denmark,
4. Son, Sausage maker (pork butcher), Truls Dahl, Address: Lysaker,
5. Son, Shipbroker Oscar Dahl, Address: La-Rochelle, France,
6. Deceased Son, Shipbroker, Harald Dahl, in his first marriage
leaving two children:
a. Ellen Dahl, 19 years,
b. Louis Dahl, 16 years,
both at address: Cumberlain Lodge, Llandaff, Glamorgan, England,
and in his second marriage with surviving wife Sofie Dahl, leaving
four children:
a. Alfhild Dahl, about 10 years,
b. Roald Dahl, about 8 years,
c. Else Dahl, about 4 years,
d. Baby Dahl, about 2 years.
[end quote].
There are a couple of more details related to the settling of the
estate, but these do not seem to contain any genealogical information.
For simplicity, I left these details out here.
And, for your reference, the source information is:
