I'm looking for information on my great-great grandfather Ole Rasmus White born 25 MAY 1855 in Denmark. I don't know where in Denmark he was born. Just that his parents are Rasmer and Prena White.
Ole emmigrated to Michigan in the USA around 1873. He ended up settling in Hancock County, Iowa, USA. I don't believe that his parents Rasmer and Prena ever left Denmark.
Please let me know if you have any information on the White family in Denmark.
Thanks in advance!
