Ael Middelstorp

The name of Daniel Cromerty's wife is not in any records, but has been derived from the following:

In this Bergen family (as for many others) the following rules for naming children were followed)

1st son- paternal grandfather's name

2nd son-maternal grandfather's name

3rd son- great gr father's name

or names from uncles

1st daughter- paternal grandmother's name

2nd daughter-maternal grandmother's name

etc

Daniels sons were: Thomas, Berendt, Ludvig, Jan

daughters: Emmiche, Wibeche, Trinche

Berendt and Ludvig were the main Names in the Middelstorp family. From this is derived that Daniels wife was a Middelstorp. Furthermore Thomas D Cromerty and the Middeltorps were partners in a burial site beneath Nykirken in Bergen

Daniel's eldest Son Thomas thus named his first son Daniel, 2nd Hendrich and his first daughter Ael (Ahl, Alida), 2nd Giertrud. From this is derived that Thomas Mother's name was Ael
