Maren Georgsdatter

[Linda Michelle Thérèsa de Bodt Rosenland]

I have located the birth record for Maren Georgsdatter but am having trouble reading what it says for her father's name.  I would have thought it would be George 'something' but it looks like it just says George of Horsens?

1815-1836
Bjerre, Bjerre, Vejle, Denmark
Opslad 42
3rd entry on the page
Maren Georgsdatter
b 3 Jan 1817

I can see that her mother is Ane Catrine Rasmusdatter but I am stuck on the father's name.

Maren's mother is unmarried.

The most she can, or will, say of the father is his status and his first name.  A quick look at the 1831 confirmations finds the Maren in the next entry, but not Maren Georgsdatter.  If she reached confirmation age, it must be in another parish.

Maybe?

Thank you both!

Wow, that is not very common.  I think I only have one unmarried mother with no father ever mentioned on my grandmothers' side in Belgium.

And, yes, she does move to Rarup where I find her again and where she marries and has children with Hans Pedersen (Slot).

There is a few Horsens when it comes to parish records.  How would I know which one to look in to see if I can find a Georg?

Hi Rebecca,

It would be Horsens town (købstad) in Skanderborg county, close to Bjerre district in Vejle county -
i.e. Horsens Vor Frelser sogn.
