Gedska's father Soren Hermansen

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 189. Soren Hermansen born September 9, 1764 to Herman Jensen. Soren was 5th of 9 children born to Herman and his wife Anne Marie Christensdatter.


Marriage, Thorso parish, page 180. Soren Hermansen of Thorsoe marries Maren Pedersdatter of Thorsoe on June 10, 1803. Witnesses are Christen Hermansen of Gullev parish and Niels Hermansen of Vindum parish. There are no other people listed making me think that Maren's parents may have died by this time and she was without living siblings. I am having great difficulty finding Maren's birth records and her parents are not known to our family. In all the census's where she is living with her children her birthplaces are listed primarily as Sall parish, but Sahl parish is also listed once. Her birth year varies from 1769 to 1778 based upon the ages given to her in the census.



Death, Vindum parish register, page 140. Soren Hermansen dies on September 23, 1815 at the age of 51 years old. His wife Maren would go on and live until the age of around 92, passing away in 1864 while living with her daughter Maren Sorensdatter in Vindum parish. No cause of death is listed.
