Hi

Do you know were Godfred Andersen was born? From his confirmations record I think I can read his birthplace as Kjøbenhavn but that is a huge area. In the other records I see no clue but may be Godfred's birthrecord could help.

 Hello Poul-Erik, thankyou for trying to help.

I live in Western Australia, so it is very difficult for me to get my hands on much information regarding my Danish family

The only address I have of Anders Godtfredsen is Bostrup, Langeland Norre,Svendborg-- christened 24 March 1785, his father  Gotfred Frandsen..about 1755 Stoense Svendborg

My big mystery is where was  his 1st wife Maren Kirstine Rasmusdatter born ,and who were her parents. Also why in another entry is she  called Kirstine Sonne----Sonne apparently a name not common in Svendborg, but well known in Bornholm

Maren Kirstine arrived in 1814 to Bøstrup (Bøstrup 1813-1827 opslag 95).

Maren and Anders got married 12. november 1814 (Bøstrup 1813-1827 opslag 83).

Godfred Andersen was born in København 8. maj 1814 (Bøstrup 1827-1840 opslag 47). He was in Skrøbelev around 1845 (Svendborg, Skrøbelev 1845-1875 opslag 97) where it is confirmed that he was born in København.

Now you just have to go through the churchbooks from København and find his birth. Perhaps you will get some more informations on Maren.

Thankyou for all this information Poul-Erik

Can  you advise me how I would be able to access the churchbooks from Kobenhavn?
Not so easy from this far away I should imagine.

Once again many thanks
