Since both me and my wife have a taste for genealogy,
we think it would be fun to create a website, so the
family can see how everything fits together.
Interest in genealogy has occurred some years ago, when
we have two genealogy books lying one on my
grandfather's side and the other on my grandmother's
side. Moreover, we have obtained a copy of Kirsten's
grandfather's side. All these details we would like to
have written into a genealogy program so that we could
better provide an overview of our families. But we soon
found out that there were missing some information.
At that time, it has become possible to search
information on the records online, so we thought it
would be fun to try if we could even find out anything.
We managed to find some of the missing information, and
soon it was fun to dig a little more. It meant also that
we had to train ourselves to read and decipher the many
ancient alphabets, what actually is something of a feat.
Since we have found a great deal on both mine and
Kirsten's grandparents
It was during the search on Kirsten's grandmother's
side, we could remember there was something with a
sister who had emigrated to the United States and then
it started to get exciting if it was possible to find
information about what had become of her. We managed
using pictures that had been sent home from the United
States (as Kirsten's uncle had saved). Luckily, there
was written on the back, so we could find names and
dates that made the search a little easier. In this way
we have found her sister Marie's son, as we have managed
to make contact with.
Thereby came the idea for a website, so we could provide
information to the family in the United States about
their family and relatives here in Denmark.
