If you think this is the right Søren Jensen, I can check the original division-book when the corona-virus is over, and the National Archive reopens. Please let me know.

Kind regards

Hi Kristian,

Thank you, I believe he is the right (my) Søren Jensen.  That would be extremely kind of you and wonderful if you would check the original division books.  I appreciate your help, I hope I am not imposing by also asking you to also try to translate my second request for the 1782-1790 book recorded below.  I believe those notes identify him as a 'Tømmermand.'  If that is so, he having been a carpenter pretty much verifies the fact that he is the right Søren.

I would hope that the corona virus problem/scare does not last too long as people seem to be panicking here.  I do not know how things are by you but why in the world people are stocking up on water and toilet paper is beyond me?

Mange tak,
Rog Nelson
