Rita’s Family: Ancestors of Alfred Sorensen |
||
| These pages are a compilation of my work and that of others. You are welcome to use anything on this page, but be aware that although I have been as careful and accurate as possible, I am not a professional genealogist. I have been working on our genealogy for over 25 years, and started the website in 2005. Some of the lines I have researched myself; some, especially on Rita’s side, we inherited the research of other family members over the past 75 years. Still, the majority of these pages are limited to compilations from published books and what I could find on the internet. The target audience was and remains our family, so the family pages are limited to our own ancestors. I have set it up so that each page is one set of ancestors, with their descendants. For the most part I have limited my scope to their great-grandchildren (second cousins to us); in some cases I list sources which may continue further. | HOME | |

194. Peder Madsen was born sometime around 1710 in Denmark, and died in Denmark.
He married sometime around 1730 in Denmark,
195. Kirsten Christendatter. Kirsten was born sometime around 1710 in Denmark, and died in Denmark.
They used the old Scandinavian naming convention We can assume that Peder was the son of
Mad or Mads, and Kirsten is certainly the daughter of Christen. Their children were named Pedersen
and Pedersdatter after Peder.
Peder and Kirsten were Lutheran, and were farmers.
Peder and Kirsten had two children that we know of -- there were probably others:
194.1. Jens Pedersen was born about 1731 in Haverslev Sogn (Oster Han, Hjoerring) Denmark.
194.2. Kirsten Pedersdatter [97] (1734 Denmark - d. Denmark) and Christen Nielsen Borregaard are direct ancestors, separate page.
