Notes:

Letter from Landsarkivet for Sjaelland M.M.: "In reply to
your letter of June
to Haerens Arkive we can inform you that Niels Jorgen
Hansen was born 22 Oct
1867 in the parish of Bjernede (county of Soro). His
mother was Maren Hansen
and the putative father was Hans Iversen who lived in the
village of Fuldby
(parish of Bjernede). He was brought up by his maternal
grandfather, Hans
Christensen who was a carpenter in the village of Ebberup
(parish of Bjernede).
He immigrated 25 August 1885 having Lamar in Missouri as
his destination.
Consequently Hans Peter Nielsen was not the father of Niels
Jorgen Hansen.
We have found a Hans Peter Nielsen who was baptized in the
church of Alsted
(county of Soro) 13 January 1847. He was a son of a
smallholder, Niels
Christensen, and immigrated to the United States between
1868 and 1870."

14 Sept 2004: The Vineland Cemetery in Clarkston WA is not
in the best of shape. While the grass and weeds are kept
mowed, over time it has been allowed to grow over the
stones. Consequently, in some cases it is difficult to
determine the names on the stones unless they are upright
stones. A man at the Lewis Clark Memorial Cemetery told us
that the Vineland Cemetery is in trouble financially.
