First of all....Thank you so much for your help!
To my knowledge all of the information that you have provided seems to match up with everything that I have. My records show, this Jorgen Knudsen family did come to America after his brother Chris had returned to Denmark in September of 1913. I am so excited to share this information with my father who is 87 years old.
I appreciate all of your help.

Hallo Ann.
Try also to see, if there should be relatives at Helmut Martensen´s website for Flensburg in www.Adelby.com. Also look up at this.:

I am interested in the web sites you have given but I am unable to read or translate from Danish to English.
I do thank you for your help.

Hello Ann.
It´s just to read the names; its a German website from Helmut Martensen; Flensburg = Germany.
It´s is very simpel to read. You can also get help via Google = the German language(Deutsche sprache)
Kind regards
