Welcome to Nelson Roots

This blog will be dedicated to the collection and dispersment of information relating to the geneology of the Jay L and Afton May Nelson Family. All contributors are welcome. Our mission is to find and publish accurate information relating to our ancestory. We hope that we can collect here pictures, records of births, deaths, marriages, and confirmations, as well as other verifiable evidence of our forebearers.

Ane Dorthe Olesen: Daughter of Ole Clemmensen and niece to Kirstine Clemmensen

 Marriage, Onsbjerg parish register, page 56.  Ane Dorthe Olesen of Tarderup, Orby born in Tarderup August 6, 1855, 28 years old marries Niels Soren Jorgensen of Holdby, born in Orby Tranebjerg parish on April 15, 1859, 24 years old.  They are married November 20, 1883.  Ane's brother Niels Soren Olesen is present.  Of the children of Ole Clemmensen, I am only able at this point to find her.  I cannot find information on her brother Clemmen Olesen or sister Marie Kirstine Olesen.  Her brother Niels Soren Olesen is discussed in a prior post.  There were 10 children in Ole Clemmensen's family but only those four survived to adulthood.  I did find a great deal of information on Niels Soren Jorgensen's family in the census and parish records and updated this in family search but will not include that in the blog.  

 Birth, Tranebjerg parish register, page 16.  Niels Soren is born April 15, 1859 and christened May 29, 1859.  His father is Iver Jorgen Nielsen and mother is Henriette Sophie Sorensen (39 years) of Orby.  Niels had two other siblings, Maren (born 1850) and Jens (born in 1862).  I did search the Tranebjerg parish records and did not find any others born.  I will add Jorgen's parents and family in to family search later.  I did piece together some of Henriette's family from the census and parish records.  Henriette was born when her mother was around 45 years old.  Her oldest sibling that I can find was born in 1795---25 years earlier.

 Birth, Onsbjerg parish register, page 154.  Olga Katrine Sofie Jorgine Jorgensen is born April 29, 1884.  Ane was 28.  Niels Soren Olesen is there.

Birth, Onsbjerg parish register, page 82.  Ole Jorgen, Jorgensen is born December 1, 1885 and christened December 27, 1885.  I cannot find the family after this in the Onsbjerg 1890 census or any other children born to them through 1891.  I do not know what happens to them.
