The bjelland I'm speaking off is located on the west coast of Norway. The island of Stord (south of Bergen)
The name Martin Bjelland is familiar, but I'll come back to you
when I have some more details.
Bjelland on Stord was originally a large farm, the largest in this area. It used to be nobility before they removed this term in Norway.
There is also Bjelland located near Stavanger and Kristiansand.
If you send me your mail adr, I'll send you a map.
