Facts and Events
Liestøl concluded that both this Olav Nilsson Tjaldal and the Olav Nilsson Tjaldal who married widow Kari Asbjørnsdatter of Ljosland were the sons of Nils Olavsson Tjaldal[1]. Apparently it was not uncommon for two living children in the same family to have the same name because of the naming conventions of the time, in which the oldest children in a family were named after their grandparents and the younger after their great-grandparents[3]. Presumably the children had nicknames to differentiate them. Note that the two Olavs cannot be the same person, as their children were born during the same years. References
