Zahl or Sahl is a Nordland family belonging to and mainly living in the County of Nordland, Norway. The family arrived there in the 17th century. Traditionally, members of the family have been traders, shippers, and sheriffs. == History == The family immigrated to Norway in the 17th century with Niels Jensen Zahl (Saell), District Stipendiary Magistrate ((ノルウェー語:sorenskriver)) in the 1620s and residing in Vadsø.〔Meyer, Anton: ''Leines Landet i Leirfjord : Landet, folket og historien'', pp. 111 and 115 f. 2007, Leines Press. ISBN 978-82-303-0858-5〕 The family's geographical origin is uncertain. Several villages named Sahl/Sall in Denmark are presented as likely possibilities.〔Meyer, Anton: ''Leines Landet i Leirfjord : Landet, folket og historien'', p. 114. 2007, Leines Press. ISBN 978-82-303-0858-5〕 Family members have been traders and shippers, and some have as sheriffs ((ノルウェー語:lensmann)) held local police authority. Among trade seats related to the family are Kjerringøy〔(Zahl på Kjerringøy ) in Nordland fylkesleksikon.〕 and Nordvika in Dønna.〔Edvardsen, Svein: ''Skifter fra Herøy/Dønna'', p. 8.〕 Among prominent members of the family is Erasmus B.K. Zahl (1826–1900), a wealthy trader and an island owner ((ノルウェー語:væreier)) in Kjerringøy. In the late 1800s, he gave financial support to Knut Hamsun, then a young and poor author. Later, Hamsun—a 1920 Nobel Literature Prize laureate—used Zahl as a model for the famous character ''Mack'' appearing in many of his novels, among others ''Pan'' (1894). Anders Nicolai Zahl (1807–1857) of the Nordvika branch married Lorentze Sophie Lie, née Krogh (b. 1797), a daughter of Mathias Bonsach Krogh, bishop of Hålogaland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zahl (Norwegian family)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
