Ulfborg - Brixtoft - 1650-1770

[Rick Larsen]

Hello,

I am researching BRIXTOFT in and around Ulfborg parish. I have already been able to find a little information in the parish registers and in Alfred Kaae's books about Ulfborg (Sogn og Saga I + II).

From the parish registers, I was able to find a little information about my ancestor Johannes {Jensen} Brixtoft and his children. This information is summarized below. His daughter Maren (b. 1759) married Peder Nielsen Veje. Their daughter Karen Pedersdatter Toft later married Christen Laursen Dybkjær from Vedersø.

From Aldred Kaae's books, I can also read that (Volume II, Page 106) in 1688 the tenant (or owner?) was a Jens Brixtoft, Johannes Brixtoft's father. In the same book (Volume I, Page 62) it is said that "Brixtoft er derimod ret gammelt; navnet Brix kommer af er Briccius, som menes at være et keltisk navn.". There is a reference to "Jens Christensen I Brixtoft, ½ bol 2 td. Land" (Volume I, page 97). Pages 109-110 seem to refer to the parceling of the land in 1688...but my Danish is not good enough to understand.

Does anyone have any information about Brixtoft and the family in and around the Ulfborg area that may help me put together a more complete picture in the 1650-1770 period?
