Meaning/Pronunciation: Pronunciation: Till-er Meaning: An old job-name meaning maker or layer of tiles, from either Old English, or possibly Latin.
Origin: For me, this name comes from Norway.
Variations: Currently this is the only variation of the name I have in my database.
Relation to me: This is my mother's father's father's mother's father's mother's surname, as far as I have been able to determine
Ancestors: (in ascending order from most recent with name)
i: Tiller (or Johnsdatter Tiller), Anna Magdalena, 1769 – 1846, Sor-Trondelag, Norway; Hans Heinrich Bordevick, 3 sons
ii: Tiller (or Olsen Tiller), Jon, ? – 1801, Norway, Marit Torresdatter, 4 daughters, 2 sons
iii: Anderson, Ole, 1715 - ?, Norway, Magdalena Arntsdatter, 3 sons, 1 daughter
Looking for:
Recently found the furthest back generation here with information on the Bordewick and Linchausen lines, though received no response to my email when I contacted the person, so I have no way of verifying this bit yet. My line came to me complete through Jon Olsen Tiller, and I've no information beyond the basics for his wife, so any information on this line would be very welcome.
