Inger Svensen

[Ruth Becker Morenz]

I have been looking for information/relatives of my great-grandmother, Inger Svensen, for quite a while.  What I know about her is that she was born on April 22, 1866 (according to her daughter's date book and her death certificate).  She married Axel Becker in Chicago, Illinois on October 28, 1985.  She had two children; Harry and Esther.  On both of their birth certificates it states that her birthplace was Nyborg, Denmark.
I have found the church records of her marriage and there is nothing there about her life/family in Denmark.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as to where I should look now.  I have looked at different church records for Nyborg but did not find anything.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Hi Ruth

In the emigration database I found this:

Name:  Svendsen, Inger   
Occupation:  Tyende* (kv. by)         *domestic servant
Age:  23
Destination:  Chicago, Ill.
Contract no.:  368700
Registration date:  4/7/1887
Last res. parish:  København
Last res. county:  København
Last residence:  Kbhvn.
Destination country:  USA
Destination city:  Chicago
Destination state:  Illinois
Name of ship:  Indirect
IDcode:  I8687S3508 

Could it be 'your' ggmother ? Do you know when she arrived to US ?
Did she marry 1885 or 1895 ? (you typed 1985)

I checked all parishes in Vindinge herred (district), where Nyborg lies. In none of them she was born at the date April 22, 1866.

Dear Ole,
I am so sorry.  The date they were married was 1895.  That could be my great-grandmother.  I really appreciate your help.  Thank you so much.
