[edit] The name Offerdahl

Hi I have a question regarding the family-name Offerdahl. My guess from the spelling is that it is originally Norwegian. A famous person in the norwegian catholic church Olav Offerdahl 1857-1930 also has that name. Does John Offerdahl has norwegian kinship? Futhermore does the name relate to the swedish parish Offerdal located in Jämtland (where I have many relatives) and wich I strongly suspect it does? I have not been able to find answers to these questions wich is the reason I ask them here. /Olof Edler, 28 May 2008, Uppsala, Sweden
