All I know about my mothers mother is that her name was Clara Marie Nielsdatter, she was born in 1918, she was sent to an orphanage somewhere in Jylland at the age of 2 when her mother died, then around the age of 12-14 she was sent to a Farm to work in Trust, Ungstrup, she married in 1947 to a gentleman named Svend Aage Pedersen i Thorning. I would like so know which boernehjem was she at? find out who her family was? Is the story true? Please help if you are able to
Thank you
Sincerely
Tina

It is mentioned that Clara is born in Fredericia as the daughter of Johanne Nielsen and Hans Aage Skov.
Clara was also a fosterchild of farmer Arnold Overgaard Jensen and wife Maren Jensen in Ungstrup.
Clara is baptized here:
