    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.
