Bolin from Sanda, Gotland

The earliest known ancestor is the farmer Per who lived at Botvede in the parish of Sanda on the island of Gotland. His son Jakob Persson took over the farm but it is his son, Petrus Bolin who was the first to take on the last name Bolin, after the farm where he grew up which used to be called Bolwede.
