Niels Carl Otto Schou Birth and Death Records
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

Anders Jensen's Maternal Grandmother Else Jeppesdatter and Family
Hjorring Parish Census Map. The majority of the parishes mentioned are in Horns County. Else Jeppesdatter was the maternal grandmother of Anders Jensen who was the father of Nicolena who married Charles Frederick Nelson. In the following post I have found all the children listed on familysearch.org except one, Marie, born March 19, 1795 supposedly listed in the Flade register. I think many of the children die but again am only able to find one death record.
Birth, Aasted Parish, page 57. Else is born to Jep Jensen? and Anne Jensdatter and is christened December 4, 1763. I cannot find her husband's birth record but the 1787 census puts him being born around 1754.
