Laurs and Gedskas fifth child


Vester Velling Parish registry, page 54. Maren Laursen (spelled Laursdatter in beautiful, dark cursive) is the 8th child born in the parish in 1850, born July 1 to Laurs and Gedska. Laurs and Gedska have moved back to Viborg county and live in the part of the parish known as Liltorup. What is amazing about this register is that it shows, unbeknownst to our current records, that Rasmus Nielsen has married again after the death of his first wife in 1846 to a Maren Sorensdatter. In the far right column, Laurs's brother Jens Rasmusen from Hjorthede parish is mentioned.
