George Gerlach

[Leif Arrhenius]

I have been researching my ancestor George Gerlach

He married Sofia Hansdotter Hoff on - 11 MAY 1709 in Helsingborg
George died 4 February 1756 in Saxtorp

I know most of the information about their children and I have been able to find information on Sofia's family.

I can't seem to find anything about George's birth or his parents and siblings. 
He died around the age of 80, so I assume he was born around 1676.  His wife's family is originally from Denmark and moved to Helsingborg around 1700.  I have tried looking at Helsingborg records to see if there is any info on Gerlach, but have had no success.  I wonder if he is from Denmark too?  Any information will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much!
