Ole Peter Christian Möller, b. 1776, d. 1842.
The spear side of the family,
the Möller´s, we trace
to Ole Peter Christian Möller, who was an
Danish merchant born in Sjælland (Kobenhavn ?
)1776, immigrated to Olafsvik, Iceland around 1800. Between 1800
and 1810 he must also have had residence in Denmark. He married to
Christiane Elizabeth Hoffman, April 1. 1802, in Kregme
Denmark.
Christiane was daughter of Peder Madsen Hoffmann, (1736) priest in
Wiberg from 1778 and his wife Pilippiene Maria Størn (1757).
Children of Ole Peter and
Elizabeth were:
Marie Nikoline, b. 1803
m. Ólafur Hannesson Finsen
Hans Peter, b. 1804 /
Caroline, b. 1807 /
Johan Georg, b.1810, spouse Frederikke Christiane
Cecilie Mathiesen
Christian Ludvig, b. 1813, spouse Sigríður Magnúsdóttir
Norðfjörð
Ole Peter, b. 1814. d. 1878
Christian Ludvig, (1887),
settled in Siglufjordur in N-Iceland, were he was commissioner.
He loved to sing and was well known entertainer and cantor in Iceland.
The distaff side of the family
we trace to Icelandic farmers mostly in N-Iceland, Svarfadardalur and
Eyjafjordur. Amongst them is Torlakur Hallgrimsson (1754), farmer at
Skrida in Horgardalur, known to be the first Icelander to grow trees
in Iceland, and greens such as cabbage. He was one of the wealthiest
farmers in N-Iceland. And if we go far back we can trace the
bloodline as far as the Vikings, Egill Skallagrimsson, Ingolfur
Arnarson, and to Scandinavian kings such as Ragnar Sigurdsson, king of
Denmark and Hjaldur Vatnarson, king of Sweden, but most Icelanders do
anyway.
Jona Sigurbjorg
Rognvaldsdottir was born at Trastarstadir in Skagafjordur, and was
in the family
known as “Granny Jona”
she was god-fearing woman, and concerned about the welfare of her
family.
