HelpRe: Unusual cemetery names (mostly late 1800s early 1900s)
in reply to a message by LMS
Elsi - not too uncommon in Sweden, but usually spelled Elsie
Beret - probably an obsolete variant of Berit
Ulfert - a Frisian name, means "peace of the fatherland"
Sonke - are you sure this wasn't Sönke? Frisian form of Sören
Severt - probably a Frisian variant of Sigvard
Olava - feminine form of Olav
Ingebor - it wasn't Ingeborg?
Oline - feminine variant of Olof
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?

This was from a listing of people in the cemetery and not straight from the cemetery, so you could be correct about Sonke. Also, it was definitely Ingebor because there were a few of them on the list.
