[Robert Anderson]

Seeking information regarding my great-great grandparents Anders OLSEN who married Kirsten NIELSDATTER 14 Jan 1853 in Valse Parish, Maribo, Denmark. Anders may have owned & operated a flour mill in Denmark, probably in Maribo.

They had the following children (with birth dates):

NOTE: In the U.S. we know all of them by the surname of ANDERSEN. In Denmark we are not sure. The females were possibly ANDERSDATTER.

1. Maren Helena Johanna Olene ANDERSEN 09 May 1854
2. Ole Kristian Vilhelm ANDERSEN 28 Sep 1855
3. Karen Christine Nelsena ANDERSEN 26 Feb 1858
4. Kirsten Anna Petria ANDERSEN 24 Jul 1859
5. Marie Karoline ANDERSEN 26 Mar 1861
6. Niels Peter Fredrick ANDERSEN 23 Jul 1863
7. Bodil Katrine Elenora “Nora” ANDERSEN 22 Jun 1865
8. Hans Ludvig Andreas ANDERSEN 24 Jun 1867 (my great-grandfather)
9. Karen ANDERSEN Feb 1869
10. Francine "Sena" Dorothea Cecelia ANDERSEN 09 Jan 1871
11. Jens Jakob ANDERSEN 28 Aug 1874

Anders and Kirsten and most of the children immigrated to Green Bay, Wisconsin, then to Iowa, mostly to Cass & Audubon Counties. Five farmed in Cass or Audubon Co., Iowa.

Would like to find information on Anders' and Kirsten's parents.

Thanks for any help you may provide.

The marriage record for the couple can be found AO: 1846-1859 Vaalse, Falster Nørre, Maribo ops 71.

Here is the family in the 1880 census.

Maribo, Lollands Sønder, Vestenskov, Læsø By, , Svanekjær Mølle, 91 F2, FT-1880
Anders Olsen 53  Gift Husfader, Mølleforpagter  Horreby Sogn, Maribo Amt

Anna Andersen 20  Ugift deres Barn, Syjomfru  Torkildstrup Sogn, Maribo Amt
Hans Ludvig Andersen 12  Ugift deres Barn  Torkildstrup Sogn, Maribo Amt
Fransine Andersen 9  Ugift deres Barn  Torkildstrup Sogn, Maribo Amt
Jens Jacob Andersen 5  Ugift deres Barn  Torkildstrup Sogn, Maribo Amt


Anders Olsen was born Nov 25, 1826 in Horreby sogn. (AO: 1813-1836 Horreby, Falster Sønder, Maribo ops 20).  The record is hard to read but according to FamilySearch his parents were Ole Olesen and Karen Nielsdatter.  Ole Olesen was a "hjulmand" or wheelwright.  He died on Sep 14, 1829 at the age of 49.  (AO: 1813-1836 Horreby ops 124).

Anders and his mother in 1834 census:
Maribo, Falsters Sønder, Horreby, Horrebye, , en gaard, 15, FT-1834
Anders Pedersen 32  Gift  gaardmand 
Johanne Andersdatter 27  Gift  hans kone 
Peder Andersen 3  Ugift  deres børn 
Ane Andersdatter 1  Ugift  deres børn 
Karen Nielsdatter 57  Enke  forsørges af huusfaderen 
Anders Olsen 7  Ugift  forsørges af huusfaderen 
Klaus Rasmussen 24  Ugift  tjenestefolk 
Ole Jensen 16  Ugift  tjenestefolk 
Karen Olsdatter 23  Ugift  tjenestefolk 
Karen Andersdatter 22  Ugift  tjenestefolk 
Dorthe Simonsdatter 9  Ugift  tjenestefolk

In 1845 Anders is a "millboy"
Maribo, Falsters Nørre, Maglebrænde, Maglebrænde Bye, , en Mølle, 37, FT-1845
Anders Olsen 17  Ugift  Møllerdreng [Lars Rasmussen og Christiane Pedersdatter] Horrebye Sogn

[Ralph Rasmussen]

Kirsten Nielsdatter is a little bit of a study.  Although her birth in Vålse is noted at her confirmation in 1846 in Vålse, it is not in the birth record.

Her parents are 'Gaardmand' Niels Pedersen Møller and Karen Olesdatter, and her birth date is August 8, 1831.

Kirsten's father, Niels Pedersen Møller, died already in 1832 (AO Vålse 1832-1846, opslag 176 #11).  Karen Olesdatter remarried, to Niels Hansen in 1833 (ops. 141).

So Kirsten appears here in 1845:

Maribo, Falsters Nørre, Vaalse, Vaalse Bye, en Gaard, 22, FT-1845, b8925
Navn: Alder: Civilstand: Stilling i husstanden: Erhverv: Fødested:

A bit more:

Karen Olesdatter is said to be from Kippinge, so in spite of the difference in nickname this looks very much like her first marriage, to Kirsten's father: Kippinge 1814-1832, opslag 147 #4.  Niels P. would be born about 1786.  His guarantor may be his father, as the nickname is the same.  If the family owned a mill, then Niels Pedersen may have been better known for that than for a farm that a previous generation managed.

mvh

PS A further look at the censuses, above, leaves open the possibility that Møller was a name attached to the farm Karen now lived on.
