Father of Niels Petersen

[Paul Londahl-Smidt]

In the birth record of Niels Petersen, born 1 Aug 1881 in Jegerup, Gram, Haderslev, opslag 51 nr 29 it only lists the mother's name, Marie Christine Petersen.  In his confirmation in Bevtoft, Nørre Rangstrup, Haderslev on 29 Mar 1896, opslag 6 nr 3, It lists the name of Peter Jegsen.  Is Peter Jegsen Niels Petersen's father?

Mange tak for din hjælp.

Hello,

Clog maker Peter Jegsen is Niels Petersen's foster-father. Niels Petersen's mother works as a maid at a farm called Woyensgaard and cannot provide for her son.

Kind regards,
Inge-Lise Nielsen
