It has been suggested that Salve Sigbjørnsen Eigeland was born at "Kongevoll, Gyland, Bakke, Lister, Norway".
Is there any evidence for this?
As far as I have can see, his father was a tenant farmer at Eigeland from 1705 when his grandfather retired (Lunds historie, pp 353-354). It certainly seems far-fetched to suggest that his last name at birth was Kongevoll.
