Early Origins of the Ollson family

The surname Ollson was first found in East Prussia and Denmark, where the family name came from small beginnings but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging mediaeval society. It later became more prominent as numerous branches of the same house acquired distant estates, some of which were located in other countries. Through the acquisition of these estates as well as their important contributions to society, the family successfully elevated their social status in Denmark. Their first records were from the 13th century.
