Nicolai Andreasen Family Part I

Marriage, Vindum parish register, page 139. Anders Pedersen of Hedegaard marries Anne Kirstine Nielsdatter on March 20, 1766. There is another recording for January 4, 1766 which is an engagment I think? There is a word in front of her name which I think means widowed. I think she also had a son named Soren who I will discuss later in the post.

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 193. A child is born to Andreas Pedersen on December 14, 1766. There is no name listed for the child but in the prior post, Andreas had a son pass away in 1771 that was four years old whose name was Nicolai. This must be him.

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 8. Cathrine is born to Andreas Pedersen on August 13, 1769 (12p Trinit).
Confirmation, Vindum parish register, page 19. Andreas Pedersen of Hedegaard has a son confirmed in 1772 named Soren. My guess is that this really is our Andreas because there was only one that lived in Hedegaard and that Soren, likely age 12 or so, is the child of Anne Kirstine Nielsdatter from a previous marriage. Anne Kirstine died in 1771 at the age of 37. This means she married Andreas when she was 31, thus making it very possible for her to have been married before and to have had a child (Soren) at the age of 25 or so. It would be very difficult to prove this since the records hardly ever recorded the name of the woman, except for marriage records.

Nicolai Andreasen Family Part II

Marriage, Vindum parish register, page 17. The engagement (line 6) and marriage on November 29, 1771 are listed for Andreas Pedersen of Hedegaard and Karen Duelund of Vindum. Witnesses were Chresten Overgaard of Faarup and Herman Jensen of Vindum. The engagement lines state that Karen is from Vindumeregaard. Both witnesses names are listed in the engagement as well (note: I think this is an engagement record but I'll have to make sure with a translator). This was Andreas's second marriage.
Birth, Death, and Death, Vindum parish register, page 16. First wife of Andreas Pedersen, Anne Kjerstine of Hedegaard dies at the age of 37 years and 10 months June 6, 1771. The next lines in the record indicate the birth of a son to Andreas Pedersen named Peder who was born on the same day as her death. The child was carried by Jens Duelund's wife Maren of Vindum. Witnesses were Kristine? Jensen and Christen Overgaard, Herman Nielsen and Jens Nielsen. I can only surmise that Anne Kjerstine died from complications from childbirth of Peder thoughthat does not appear to be stated in the record. Towards the bottom of the page is the death of Andreas Pedersen's son Nicolai of Hedegaard at the age of 4 years, 8 months and 3 days. He died August 4, 1771 (10p Trinit). His birth then would be probably January 1, 1767.

Confirmation, Vindum parish register, page 105. Peder Andreasen of Hedegaard is confirmed in 1789.

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 21. Nicolai (our ancestor) is born in the year 1772. I'm not sure what day as the feast calendar note is illegible. It is after a recording of 18p Trinit which would be October 10. I think it is in November as there is a word near the beginning "Nov" with a possible "1" before that. Many witnesses are listed but none appear to be immediate family.

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 27. Anne Kirstine is born March 6, 1774 to Andreas Pedersen of Hedegaard. Witnesses were Soren Moller, Jens Dueleund of Brandstrup, Jens ? of ? and Anne Margreth ? of Vindumeregaard.

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 38. Born, during the war of the American revolution, is Jens between March 25 and April 12. Jens Duelund, Niels Hansen of Vindum and Jens Duelund and Niels Poulsen of Brandstrup were witnesses.

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 48. Mette Dorthe is born 16p Trinit (September 14, 1777). She is the last child of Andreas and Karen. Witnesses were Soren Moller of Hojberg, Jens Duelund of Brandstrup and ? of Faarup. She is introduced int he church on 17p Trinit (September 21, 1777).
Death, Vindum parish register, page 49. Mette Dorthe dies 11 days after her birth which would be around September 25, 1777.

Death, Vindum parish register, page 141. Andreas Pedersen dies on March 18, 1798. His age is listed but is not clear except for the 7 months part.
