Rasmus Johansen's wife Ellen Marie's Family

Birth, Hvorslev parish register, page 162. I noticed in the 1787 census a gap between kids from 1768 to 1774. This child Ohlegaard Sorensdatter was born July 12, 1772.




Death, Hvorslev parish register, page 162. The death of Ohlegaard at 3/4 years old is documented on this page. She died March 3, 1773. Soren Petersen and his wife had another child in 1774 and named her Ohlegaard as was a common practice then. Other sibling birth records are found on pages 143 (Peter, 19p Trinit: Oct 25 1767), 153 (Elisabeth, 1 Epip Jan 7, 1770), 167 (Ohlegaard, birth, date illegible).
