BIOGRAPHY OF MARIE DORTHEA BERG OLSEN (1812-1853)

mother of Gideon Elias Olsen (1844)

written by Mary Jean Garrison

    Marie Dorthea Berg married Jens Olsen in Aalborg, Aalborg, Denmark on 23 February 1833. She was 21 years old to the day (she was born on 23 February 1812 in Michaelis, Frederica, Vejle, Denmark). Although she was born into a family of the working class, they had been closely associated with the gentleman's society, and one is left with the distinct impression that they were a refined people. There was enough of the worker's nobility in them to give Marie the best of all backgrounds, and her life reflected the generous portion which she inherited from her Danish ancestry. Denmark is located geographically south of Norway and south southwest of Sweden. It is made up primarily of a peninsula (comprising 70% of the land mass) called Jutland, or Jylland, which is surrounded by the seas except for a 42 mile common border with Germany. In addition there are 482 islands, the largest of which is Zealand, or Sjaelland, which is the location of Denmark's largest city, Copenhagen. Only 100 of these islands are populated. Denmark is located on the 55°-57° north latitude, which is north of most of Canada's populated area. Despite its extreme northern location, Denmark has a mild, damp climate tempered by the winds from the North Sea. Winter temperatures average 32° and summer temperatures average 63°. It rains most of the year, but there may be twenty to thirty days of snow which melts very quickly. There are frequent fogs and mists which arise from the sea. Denmark's highest point is 568 feet above sea level. It covers an area 250 miles east to west, and 225 miles north to south.

    Denmark is made up of small productive farms, gently rolling hills, but no mountains. The west coast is defined by the North Sea and ridges of glistening white sand dunes. Aalborg, where Jens and Marie lived, is part of the northern flat plains area which was leveled by ancient glaciers. Travelers to Denmark would see many blue lakes, farmhomes with red or blue tiled or thatched roofs, storks, castles, and windmills, and cobblestone streets.

    The earliest known ancestor of Marie Dorthea Berg appeared on the large eastern island of Sjelland in a parish just north of Copenhagen called Kongens Lyngby, or the king's moor (or heath) town. It was called Kongens Lyngby because it was part of the crownlands from old times.

    In the beginning of the 18th century, Hr. Grev (Count) Carl Ahlefeldt built Sorgen- fri Slot (meaning palace, or manor house "free from sorrow, grief, or worry") in Kongens-Lyngby. It was surrounded by gardens and parks and had a concrete floor and a little spire in the center of the building which was surrounded by several office buildings. Niels Andersen Langelaender, Marie's earliest known ancestor, first appeared in the parish records of Kongens Lyngby about 1710, about the same time that Sorgenfri Slot was being built. He was the only person listed on the 1720 tax list from Sorgenfri. He was listed as a follower and supporter of Hr. Grev Ahlefeldt and as a judge at court from time to time until his retirement or discharge.

    Hr. Grev Ahlefeldt had previously had an estate in Langelaend. Perhaps Niels Andersen Langelaender came with him from Langelaend to Sorgenfri, as his surname would indicate, or perhaps he became employed at the manor house after it was built and was thus designated as Langelaender because that is where the Count had come from. It seems reasonable to assume that Niels himself came from Langelaend (meaning long island) since he is called Langelaender, and since we have been unable to establish his birth in Kongens Lyngby. The name Langelaender stayed with the family for at least three generations.

    By the early 1720's Niels had moved out of Sorgenfri into the nearby town of Lyngby. He had a wife and three children at this time. The reason for his leaving the employ of Hr. Grev Ahlefeldt is not known, but presumably the count had sold the manor house by this time and had gone on to other places. Niels had a family and probably chose to stay settled in Lyngby rather than continue to follow the count around the country.

    Niels' second child, Mathis (or Mathias) Nielsen Langelaender, was born 14 March 1717 in Sorgenfri. The child's mother, Anne Margrete Christophersen, died before he was eight years old and his father, Niels, married for a second time. Niels Andersen Langelaender died in 1740 leaving a third wife to inherit his estate.

    Mathias Nielsen married for the first time when he was about twenty-five years old. His wife had six children. Three were stillborn. He married again after the death of his first wife. His second wife had two children. (The first died in infancy.) She died shortly after the birth of her second baby.

    Mathias married for a third time. His wife had two children (losing one to death) and died, probably in childbirth. By this time Mathias was forty-four years old. He had been widowed three times. He had been given ten children: only five of them were living. Imagine his grief at the loss of his three wives and five children. His two oldest daughters were ages sixteen and twelve. They must have been a great comfort and help to him.

    Mathias seems to have been a highly respected citizen of Lyngby as he appears as a witness at countless christenings in the parish. He was a church worker, but it isn't known in exactly what sense. He was called "gartner" in one parish entry, so perhaps he was the grounds keeper, though it seems likely that his responsibilities extended beyond that as evidenced by his appearance at so many christenings.                     

    One man who seems to be a close associate of Mathias Nielsen, a Peder Hansen, had a younger daughter of about nineteen years of age named Maren. Mathias must have taken a fancy to her. and considered her a fit mother for his five children. He married her in 1762. He was forty-five years old and she was twenty. Mathias and Maren were blessed with ten children, four of whom died before the age of eight. The last one was born in 1782 when Mathias was sixty-five years old. In sixty-five years he had been blessed with four wives and twenty children. Eleven grew to adulthood. After the death of her husband in 1784, Maren Pedersen married for a second lime and gave birth to one more daughter.       

    It was now the latter part of the 18th century and Danish laws were becoming more relaxed. People were no longer required to stay on the land where they had been born and a great migration began to take place. The daughter of Mathias Nielsen and Maren Pedersen, Maria Mathiasen, born 19 July 1772 in Kongens-Lyngby, left the home of her childhood and moved into the city of Copenhagen. Perhaps others of her family went with her as they seem to disappear out of Kongens-Lyngby parish about that time.

    Copenhagen (meaning merchants' harbour) was the main port city of Denmark and seemed to be a place of refuge for immigrants from European countries, principally Germany. Copenhagen had a garrison for German soldiers with a parish there called Garnisons Kirk, or the garrison church. It was in this parish that Maria Mathiasen and Christopher Berg were married. Family tradition states that Christopher Berg was a German soldier, but the only evidence to support such a claim is the fact that he was married in Gamisons Kirk. Chnstopher was the son of Ole Christophersen Berg and Johanne Birgette Chnstophersen Ronne. He was born 30 August 1775 in Vor Frue, Copenhagen Ole was forty-eight years old when Christopher was born. Perhaps Ole or his wife Johanne, or both, were immigrants from Germany in support of the family tradition, but there is not as yet any evidence to support the claim.

    At the christening of Christopher Berg, his father's occupation was given as servant. All of the witnesses at the christening were people of great prominence - town adminis- trators of justice and their wives. This would suggest that Ole Christophersen was employed as a domestic servant in the home of one of these prominent families. He would have been called a gentleman's servant.

    By 1777 Ole Christophersen Berg had moved with his wife and small son to a new location in Copenhagen. He had taken employment as a porter in Almindeligt Hospital. Between the years 1777 and 1784, five daughters were born to the family. Ole was fifty-seven years old at the birth of his last child.

    On 13 May 1799 Christopher Berg, a day laborer or working man, married Maria Mathiasen in Garnisons Kirk, Copenhagen. He was twenty-four years old; she was twenty- seven. By 1801 Christopher was working as a carpenter's apprentice and they had one son named Ole. A second son was born to them two days before Christmas in 1801, Ditlev Mathias. The witnesses at his christening were also very prominent people which suggests that Maria may have been doing domestic work in the home of some prominent family. Christopher and Maria were living in Trinitatis parish in Copenhagen at that time. In 1804 another son, Jens, was born. He died shortly thereafter. When a fourth son was born in 1806, he was also named Jens, the custom then being to name children after a previous child who had died. At the christening of this child Maria's surname was given as Langelaender which identified her conclusively as the Maria Mathiasen of Kongens-Lyngby whose father was Mathias Nielsen Langelaender.

    Karl Axel Jacob was born in 1808 in Copenhagen. Within a year or two, Christ- opher's apprenticeship was complete and he was free to leave Copenhagen. He undoub- tedly chose to take his family where he felt that he could find the most work. In 1812 they were living in Fredericia, Vejle, another large city located centrally along the coastline of the main peninsula of Denmark. It was there that Marie Dorthea Berg was born on 23 February 1812. Marie was the only daughter in the family. She must have been much loved by her older brothers and by her parents.

    The Bergs did not live for very long in Fredericia. Christopher had become a master carpenter, and in May 1813 he look out a trade license in Aalborg City located on the northern tip of the peninsula. After settling in Aalborg, two more sons were born to the family—Christopher in 1815, and Jens Nicolai about 1818. Christopher Berg died on 26 January 1824 at the age of forty-eight leaving his entire estate to his widow, Maria Mathiasen. Maria was perhaps comforted by the fact that she still had four living sons and her daughter Marie to care for her. When her oldest living son Ditlev married in 1831 he continued to take watchful care of his widowed mother. By 1834 he had taken her (she was now sixty-three years old) and his two younger brothers into his home. He had followed his father's occupation and was by then a master carpenter. The two brothers worked for him, Christopher (the older one) as a carpenter, and Jens (the younger one) as an apprentice carpenter.

    The only daughter, Marie Dorthea, married Jens Olsen on 23 February 1833. An unconfirmed family tradition says that she had been employed in the home of the royal family living in Aalborg prior to her marriage. Jens had come to Denmark as a Norwegian soldier and had settled in Aalborg where he practiced his trade as a tailor. There were few relatives in Aalborg. Marie had her brother Ditlev arid his family, her widowed mother and two younger brothers. Jens had no relatives there. Marie's mother Maria became ill in her late sixties and was placed in a hospital for the aged. She spent at least ten years there until her death in September 1851 at the age of seventy-nine.

    Eight children were born to Marie Dorthea Berg and Jens Olsen. Only five lived past infancy- Barbara, Christopher, Julia, Waldemar, and Gideon. The family were Luthe- ran because of the Danish law that all citizens must belong to the Lutheran Church, which was the state Church at that time. When the law was changed in 1849 allowing other religions to proselyte in Denmark, the Mormon missionaries were sent into Aalborg to establish a branch of the Church.

    Jens and Marie Dorthea opened their home to the missionaries. By the time their last child Johannes was born in June of 1850 they had become disassociated from the Lutheran church to the extent that they did not have him christened as was the usual custom to do. The baby, Johannes, died on 16 November 1850 and the next day, on 17 November 1850, Mane Dorthea and her daughter Barbara were baptized. A few months later both Christopher and Julia were baptized. Gideon was baptized at the age of nine in 1853. Marie's husband, Jens, never joined the Church. However, they continued to entertain the missionaries in their home and to call for their administrations whenever there was sickness in the family. Marie Dorthea Berg died at the age of forty on 7 September 1853, just three years after she had joined the Church.

    Marie must have taught her children well for they were all stalwarts in the Church with the exception of Julia. She was perhaps as strong as the others in the beginning, but she went to Norway with her father after her mother's death where she married out of the Church and subsequently fell into total inactivity. All the others emigrated to Utah where they were among the faithful pioneers who established a strong religion and community in the west.

BIOGRAFI AF MARIE Dorthea BERG OLSEN (1812-1853)

mor til Gideon Elias Olsen ( 1844 )

skrevet af Mary Jean Garrison

    Marie Dorthea Berg giftede Jens Olsen i Aalborg, Aalborg , Danmark den 23. Februar 1833 . Hun var 21 år til den dag ( hun blev født den 23. februar 1812 in Michaelis , Frederica , Vejle, Danmark). Selv om hun blev født ind i en familie af arbejderklasse , de havde været tæt forbundet med den herre samfund, og den ene er tilbage med det klare indtryk , at de var en raffineret mennesker. Der var nok af arbejdstagers adel i dem til at give Marie den bedste af alle baggrunde , og hendes liv afspejles den generøse del , som hun har arvet fra sin danske herkomst . Danmark ligger geografisk syd for Norge og syd sydvest for Sverige. Det består primært af en halvø (der omfatter 70 % af jorden masse) kaldet Jylland , eller Jylland, som er omgivet af havene , bortset fra en 42 mile fælles grænse med Tyskland. Derudover er der 482 øer, hvoraf de største er Sjælland , eller Sjælland, som er placeringen af ​​Danmark største by, København . Kun 100 af disse øer er befolket . Danmark ligger på 55 ° -57 ° nordlig bredde, som er nord for de fleste af Canadas befolket område. På trods af sin ekstreme nordlige placering , Danmark har en mild , fugtige klima hærdet af vindene fra Nordsøen . Vintertemperaturer gennemsnit 32 ° og sommertemperaturer gennemsnit 63 ° . Det regner det meste af året , men der kan være tyve til tredive dage med sne , som smelter meget hurtigt. Der er hyppige tåge og tåge der opstår fra havet. Danmark højeste punkt er 568 meter over havets overflade . Den dækker et område, 250 miles øst til vest, og 225 miles nord til syd.

    Danmark består af små produktive landbrug , blidt bølgende bakker , men ingen bjerge . Vestkysten er defineret ved Nordsøen og højderygge af glitrende hvide sand klitter. Aalborg, hvor Jens og Marie levede , er en del af den nordlige flade sletter område, som blev jævnet med jorden af gamle gletschere. Rejsende til Danmark ville se mange blå søer , farmhomes med røde eller blå fliser eller stråtag , storke , slotte og vindmøller, og brostensbelagte gader .

    De tidligste kendte forfader til Marie Dorthea Berg optrådt på den store østlige ø Sjelland i et sogn lige nord for København kaldes Kongens Lyngby , eller Kongens mose ( eller hede ) by. Det blev kaldt Kongens Lyngby , fordi det var en del af den krongods fra gamle tider.

    I begyndelsen af ​​det 18. århundrede, Hr . Grev ( Count ) Carl Ahlefeldt bygget Sorgen - fre Slot (betyder palads , eller herregård "fri fra sorg, sorg , eller bekymre "), i Kongens -Lyngby . Det var omgivet af haver og parker og havde et betongulv og et lille spir i centrum af den bygning, som var omgivet af flere kontorbygninger. Niels Andersen Langelaender , Maries tidligst kendte forfader , først dukkede op i kirkebøger fra Kongens Lyngby omkring 1710 , omkring samme tid som Sorgenfri Slot blev bygget . Han var den eneste person , der er anført på den skattemæssige liste fra Sorgenfri 1720 . han blev opført som en tilhænger og tilhænger af Hr . Grev Ahlefeldt og som en dommer ved retten fra tid til indtil sin pensionering eller udledning .

    Hr . Grev Ahlefeldt havde tidligere haft en ejendom i Langelaend . måske Niels Andersen Langelaender kom med ham fra Langelaend til Sorgenfri , da hans efternavn vil indikere , eller måske blev han ansat på herregården efter det blev bygget og blev således udpeget som Langelaender fordi det er hvor Greven var kommet fra . det synes rimeligt at antage, at Niels selv kom fra Langelaend (betyder lang ø ), da han kaldes Langelaender , og da vi har været i stand til at etablere sin fødsel i Kongens Lyngby . Navnet Langelaender opholdt sig med familien i mindst tre generationer .

    I begyndelsen af ​​1720 Niels havde flyttet ud af Sorgenfri i den nærliggende by Lyngby. Han havde en kone og tre børn på dette tidspunkt. Årsagen til hans forlader ansættelse i Hr . Grev Ahlefeldt er ikke kendt, men formentlig greven havde solgt herregården ved denne gang og var gået videre til andre steder. Niels havde en familie og sandsynligvis har valgt at bo afregnes i Lyngby i stedet fortsætte med at følge optællingen rundt i landet.

    Niels ' andet barn, Mathis (eller Mathias ) Nielsen Langelaender , blev født 14 marts 1717 in Sorgenfri . Barnets mor, Anne Margrete Christophersen , døde før han var otte år gammel , og hans far, Niels , gift for anden gang . Niels Andersen Langelaender døde i 1740 forlader en tredje kone at arve hans ejendom.

    Mathias Nielsen blev gift for første gang, da han var omkring 25 år gammel . Hans kone havde seks børn. Tre var dødfødt . Han giftede sig igen efter sin afdøde første kone . Hans anden kone havde to børn. (Den første døde som spæde . ) Hun døde kort efter fødslen af ​​sit andet barn .

    Mathias gift for tredje gang . Hans kone havde to børn ( miste en til død) og døde , sandsynligvis i barselssengen . På dette tidspunkt Mathias var 44 år gammel . Han havde været enke tre gange. Han havde fået ti børn : kun fem af dem var levende . Forestil dig hans sorg over tabet af hans tre koner og fem børn. Hans to ældste døtre var aldre seksten og tolv. De må have været en stor trøst og hjælp for ham.

    Mathias synes at have været en højt respekteret borger i Lyngby , som han ser som en vidne på utallige barnedåb i sognet . Han var en kirke arbejdstager , men det er ikke kendt i præcis, hvad forstand. Han blev kaldt " Gartner " i et sogn indgang , så måske var han grunde keeper , selvom det synes sandsynligt, at hans ansvarsområder forlænges ud over det som fremgår af hans udseende på så mange barnedåb .

    En mand , der synes at være en nær samarbejdspartner med Mathias Nielsen, Peder Hansen, havde en yngste datter af omkring nitten år gammel opkaldt Maren . Mathias skal have taget en fancy til hende. og betragtede hende en egnet mor for sine fem børn. Han giftede sig med hende i 1762 . Han var 45 år gammel , og hun var tyve . Mads og Maren blev velsignet med ti børn , hvoraf fire døde før en alder af otte . Den sidste blev født i 1782 , da Mathias var 65 år gammel . I 65 år var han blevet velsignet med fire koner og tyve børn. Eleven voksede til voksenalderen. Efter døden af ​​hendes mand i 1784 , Maren Pedersen gift for en anden lime og fødte en mere datter.

    Det var nu den sidste del af det 18. århundrede og danske love blev mere afslappet. Folk var ikke længere forpligtet til at bo på den jord, hvor de var blevet født og en stor migration begyndte at finde sted. Datter af Mathias Nielsen og Maren Pedersen, Maria Mathiasen , født 19 Juli 1772 i Kongens -Lyngby , forlod hjemmet af hendes barndom og flyttede ind i byen i København. Måske andre af hendes familie gik med hende som de synes at forsvinde ud af Kongens -Lyngby sogn omkring denne tid .

    København (betyder købmændenes havn ) var den vigtigste havn by i Danmark og syntes at være et tilflugtssted for indvandrere fra europæiske lande , hovedsagelig Tyskland. København havde en garnison for tyske soldater med et sogn , der kaldes Garnisons Kirk , eller garnisonen kirke. Det var i dette sogn som Maria Mathiasen og Christopher Berg var gift. Familie tradition hedder det, at Christopher Berg var en Tysk soldat , men den eneste beviser til støtte for en sådan påstand , er det faktum , at han var gift i Gamisons Kirk. Chnstopher var søn af Ole Christophersen Berg og Johanne Birgette Chnstophersen Rønne . Han blev født 30 August 1775 i Vor Frue , København Ole var 48 år gammel, da Christopher blev født. Måske Ole eller hans kone Johanne , eller begge , var indvandrere fra Tyskland til støtte for familien tradition , men der er ikke endnu nogen beviser til støtte for påstanden .

    Ved dåb af Christopher Berg , blev hans fars besættelse givet som tjener. Alle vidner ved dåb var mennesker af stor vægt - town administra - stratorer om retfærdighed og deres hustruer . Dette tyder på, at Ole Christophersen var ansat som tjenestepige i hjemmet af en af ​​disse prominente familier. han ville have været kaldt en gentleman tjener .

    Ved 1777 havde Ole Christophersen Berg flyttede med sin kone og lille søn til en ny placering i København. Han havde taget ansættelse som portør i Almindeligt Hospital. Mellem årene 1777 og 1784 , blev fem døtre født til familien. Ole var 57 år gammel ved fødslen af ​​sit sidste barn .

    Den 13 maj 1799 Christopher Berg, en daglejer eller arbejdende mand , gift Maria Mathiasen i Garnisons Kirk, København. Han var 24 år gammel ; hun var syv og tyve . Ved 1801 Christopher arbejdede som tømrer lærling og de havde en søn ved navn Ole . En anden søn blev født til dem to dage før jul i 1801 , Ditlev Mathias . Vidnerne ved hans dåb var også meget fremtrædende folk , som tyder på, at Maria kan have været laver husligt arbejde i hjemmet af nogle fremtrædende familie. Christopher og Maria boede i Trinitatis sogn i København på det tidspunkt. I 1804 en søn , Jens , blev født . Han døde kort efter. Når en fjerde søn var født i 1806 , blev han også kaldte Jens , den brugerdefinerede derefter at blive at navngive børn efter en tidligere barn, der var døde. Ved dåb af dette barn Maria efternavn blev givet som Langelaender som identificerede hende endegyldigt som Maria Mathiasen af Kongens -Lyngby hvis far var Mathias Nielsen Langelaender .

    Karl Axel Jacob blev født i 1808 i København. Inden for et år eller to, Kristus - opher s læretid var fuldstændigt og han var fri til at forlade København. Han undoub - tedly valgte at tage sin familie, hvor han følte, at han kunne finde mest arbejde . i 1812 de levede i Fredericia , Vejle , en anden stor by beliggende centralt langs kystlinje af de vigtigste halvø Danmark . Det var der , at Marie Dorthea Berg var født den 23. februar 1812. Marie var den eneste datter i familien . Hun må have været meget elsket af sine ældre brødre og sine forældre.

    De Bergs levede ikke for meget længe i Fredericia. Christopher var blevet en mester tømrer , og maj 1813 , han ser ud en næringsbrev i Aalborg by ligger på den nordlige spids af halvøen. Efter bilæggelse i Aalborg blev to flere sønner født til familie - Christopher i 1815 , og Jens Nicolai omkring 1818 . Christopher Berg døde den 26. Januar 1824 i en alder af otteogfyrre forlader hele sin ejendom til hans enke , Maria Mathiasen . Maria var måske trøstet af den kendsgerning, at hun stadig havde fire levende sønner og hendes datter Marie til at passe hende. Da hendes ældste levende søn Ditlev gift i 1831 fortsatte han med at tage vågent pleje af hans enke og mor . Ved 1834 havde han taget hende ( hun nu var 63 år gammel) og hans to yngre brødre ind i hans hjem . han havde fulgte sin fars besættelse og var da en tømrermester . De to brødre arbejdede for ham , Christopher ( den ældre ) som en tømrer , og Jens ( den yngre ), som en lærling tømrer .

    Det eneste datter, Marie Dorthea , giftede Jens Olsen på 23 Februar 1833 . En ubekræftet familie tradition siger, at hun havde været ansat i hjemmet af den kongelige familie, der bor i Aalborg , før hendes ægteskab. Jens var kommet til Danmark som Norwegian soldat og havde slået sig ned i Aalborg, hvor han praktiserede sin handel som en skrædder. der var nogle slægtninge i Aalborg. Marie havde hendes bror Ditlev Arid sin familie, hendes Enke mor og to yngre brødre . Jens havde nogen slægtninge der. Maries mor Maria blev syg i hendes slutningen af ​​tresserne og blev placeret i et hospital for de gamle. Hun tilbragte mindst ti år har der indtil sin død i September 1851 i en alder af nioghalvfjerds .

    Otte børn blev født til Marie Dorthea Berg og Jens Olsen. Kun fem levede forbi vorden - Barbara, Christopher , Julia , Waldemar , og Gideon . Familien var Luthe - løb på grund af den danske lovgivning , at alle borgere skal tilhøre den lutherske kirke , som var statskirken dengang . Da loven blev ændret i 1849 tillader andre religioner for at forkynde i Danmark blev de mormonmissionærer sendt ind Aalborg at etablere en filial af Kirken.

    Jens og Marie Dorthea åbnet deres hjem for missionærerne . Ved den tid, deres sidste barn Johannes blev født i juni 1850 de var blevet adskilles fra den Lutherske kirke i det omfang , at de ikke har ham døbt som var den sædvanlige skik at gøre. Barnet , Johannes , døde den 16. november 1850 den næste dag, den 17. November 1850 blev Mane Dorthea og hendes datter Barbara døbt. Et par måneder senere både Christopher og Julia blev døbt. Gideon blev døbt i en alder af ni i 1853 . Maries mand , Jens , aldrig medlem af Kirken. Men de fortsatte med at underholde missionærerne i deres hjem og til at opfordre til deres administrationer værtspar der var sygdom i familien. Marie Dorthea Berg døde i en alder af fyrre den 7. September 1853 , kun tre år efter at hun havde tilsluttet sig Kirken .

    Marie må have lært sine børn godt for de var alle kraftkarle i Kirken med undtagelse af Julia . Hun var måske så stærk som de andre i starten, men hun gik til Norge med sin far efter hendes mors død , hvor hun giftede sig ud af Kirke og efterfølgende faldt i total inaktivitet. Alle andre udvandrede til Utah , hvor de var blandt de trofaste pionerer, der etablerede en stærk religion og samfund i vest.

GEDCOM Note

Life sketch<p>It was the Danish culture that when the king came to visit in the villages of Denmark. Young single women would be a escort for them. It was traditional that parents would build a room attached to the home for their marriageable daughters suitors. It was very important a future bride was proven fertile before her formal marriage. It is a family story that Marie's first child Barbara was fathered by a future visiting Danish King. Unproven but interesting.</p>
