Dear people
I am looking for information about Niels Kjær Jensson, in Lovsamling for Island usually written Niels Kjær in Icelandic sources, he was a kjöbmand and then "laugmand" from 1703-1730. Niels is said to have attended school in Odense.
What school could that be, and are there records ?

Said son of borgmester in Svendborg ?
died 10. ock 1730 at Brautarholt in Iceland, said in huge dept.
Married: Þórdís Jónddóttir, d. 1733.
They had one daughter: Margrét (Margareth !), she is said to have left Iceland after her mothers death to her relatives in Denmark. What happened to her ?

HiTomas :)
If he went to school in Odense, it would probably be at Odense Latin school. As far as I can see, there are not any informations available from that time.
