  Notater	Born in Stavanger, Norway, Alexander Lange Kielland stands as one of the "Four Greats" of Norwegian literature alongside Henrik Ibsen, Jonas Lie, and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. Originating from a prosperous merchant family, Kielland used his privileged background to critique the bourgeoisie, hypocrisy, and social injustices prevalent in his society. Initially studying law in Oslo and later in France and Germany, Kielland transitioned to writing, drawing inspiration from European literary and philosophical movements. His novels, known for their wit and satire, include "Garman and Worse" (1880), "Skipper Worse" (1882), and "Gift" (1883), a poignant critique of the repressive educational system. His clear and precise prose was heavily influenced by French authors like Gustave Flaubert. Beyond writing, Kielland also served in public roles including mayor of Stavanger and governor in Møre og Romsdal. Despite facing criticism during his lifetime from conservative circles, Kielland's influence in Norwegian literature endures as he is remembered for his commitment to social justice and reform. His detailed Y-DNA haplogroup was determined by Big Y testing of patrilineal descendants of Alexander's uncles and 4th cousin. Research has been done by David Widerberg Howden, administrator of the Norway DNA Project, in collaboration with Liv Anne and Solveig Kielland.
