Axel Land

[gj25314]

My Norwegian ancestor is Axel Land.
Born in 1734 in Egersund (Rogaland)
Migrated to Holland approximately between 1752 and 1765
Married Sara Anker (1741–1810) in the Netherlands, they had 4 children:
- Sara Johanna Petronella Land (1767-1817)
- Christiaan Land (1769-1830)
- Jan Pieter Land (1776-1818)
- Gerardus George land (1778-1847)
As a sea captain he frequently sailed to the Dutch East Indies for the VOC (Dutch East India Company) between 1775 and 1790.
Died 17 August 1790 in Batavia (Java) on his last voyage.

Can you find information on his family and ancestors?

As far as I can see, there is no Axel baptized in Eigersund nor Bjerkreim in the year 1734. Are you sure he was born in 1734?

Hei

Kan det være denne karen, døpt 13 mars 1735, kan han egentlig ha blitt født sent i 1734 og kan Lund ha blitt til Land?

Sorry, fotgot to answer in English ...

Could it be this guy, baptized March 13, 1735, he may actually have been born late in 1734 and may be Lund have at some point changed to Land?

I've seen that the male name Aslak could change into Axel , so here is another suggestion:
Aslak, baptism 7. March 1734 in Eigersund. His father is Aslak Nefland ( Nevland) . The farm name might have been changed too..into Land.
