Bjelland has many spellings. Many are in Norway but found some here in the US. I am a decendent of Christian Bjelland. My Great Grandfather was Hulver Bjelland and his son was Herny. Henry took the US spelling of Bjelland which is Weland. Henry had a son name Oliver Weland. Henry married Dolly McDonald. Oliver married Thelma Beukema. Hope this is helpful.
