Ane Jensen, daughter of Jens Rasmussen


Birth, Thorning parish register, Lysgaard district, Viborg County, page 38.  Niels Johannes Berg is born July 25, 1855 to Morten Johansen Berg and Inger Kirstine Nielsdatter (age 35).  He is the future husband of Ane Jensen.     

Birth, Sonder Rind parish register, page 31.  Mette Kathrine Johansen (illegitimate) is born May 20, 1875 to the unmarried Ane Jensen (27 years old), daughter of Jens Rasmussen of Rind.  Father is Niels Johansen of Hesth? village, Bording parish.  Witnesses are Rasine Jensen (sister) of Rind, Jens Rasmussen and several others.  



Marriage, Sonder Rind parish register, page 76.  Niels Johannes Berg, age 23 of Rind marries Ane Jensen, age 31 of Rind.  Present are both father, Jens Rasmussen and Morten Johansen Berg of Datterup.  The date is November 15, 1878.  


Birth, Sonder Rind parish register, page 11.  Morten Johansen Berg is born January 21, 1880.  Ane was 32 at the time.  Morten Johansen Berg is a witness as well as Ole Johansen Berg of Dollerup.  Christine Jensen, Ane's sister is also present.  


1880 Census, Sonder Rind parish, page 17.  Niels Johannes Berg is 24, Ane is 32, Mette Kathrine Johansen is 4 and their is an unbaptized male (Morten).  Niels was born in Thorning parish, and all the others were born in Sonder Rind.  Niels was a farmer.  They are living with Jens Rasmussen (Ane's father).  


Death, Sonder Rind parish register, page 102.  Ane Jensen passes away April 8, 1889 and is buried April 14.  She was only 41years old.  She was the wife of Niels Johansen Berg of Rind.  A cause of death is listed in the last column but I cannot decipher it.  I do not find the family in the 1890 census in Rind and do not know what happens to them.  I do not find anymore children born to them after Morten in the Sonder Rind parish register.  This document states that at the time they are currently living in Rind.
