Birth, Trinitatis parish register, page 399. I found this record within 30 minutes of looking. All I knew was that he was born in Copenhagen around 1826. That's a pretty intimidating number of parish registers to look through. I said a prayer I'd find him today and God answers prayers. Niels Carl Otto was born March 2, 1826 as recorded above. His father was Niels Pedersen (?) Shou and Ann Frederika Shou (?). I do find a Niels Carl Otto Schou listed in what looks to be a boys home in the 1840 census. He is 14 years old (b. 1826) and the parish was Sankt Anne Oster Kvarter. Beyond that I next find him when he is married to Kirsten Clemmensdatter. He joined the church and emigrated to Utah with his wife.
Death Certificate, Box Elder County 1910. Niels was 84 years old at his death September 28, 1910. His parents are listed as Nels Peter Schow and his mother is Anna Fredericka Greenbeck of Denmark. His birth is listed as March 2, 1826. He was a shoemaker
