 Most of Southern-Jutland was returned to Denmark by plebiscite in 1920.There were a number of lines of Juhl families along the old Pommern Coast of then Prussia which is now on both sides of the German – Polish border.Although Norway was once ruled by Denmark (Danish naval hero Niels Juhl was born in Oslo to Danish parents), it is likely that most Norwegian "Juuls" are independent lineages, as "Jul" is a pan-Scandinavian word for Midwinter.
