My second great grandparents were Hans Nielsen Krage and Kjersten Rasmusdatter. I have found both of their birth records and marriage record. Hans's birth 5 June 1805 Raarup Sogn and Kjersten birth 15 May 1815 Glud Sogn. They were married 28 May 1843 Raarup Sogn. The 1850 census for Raarup lists as their first child Rasmus Hansen 10 years old born in Glud Sogn.

He is also listed in the 1845 census 5 years old also born in Glud Sogn.

He was born before Hans and Kjersten were married. I looked for the birth of a Rasmus Hansen in Glud sogn. I found one record of a Rasmus Hansen, born 12 August 1839  to Hans Lund Rasmussen and Anne Marie Rasmusdatter. I thought this might be the Rasmus Hansen I was looking for but he died 12 Jan 1842 in Glud sogn.

I have found the births and in some cases the deaths records of all the other children but I cannot find any birth record for Rasmus. Could he of been adopted? If he was adopted would there still be a record of his birth? I need some help!

hi Paul

A look in the original census records from 1850 reveals that Rasmus was "Rasmine" - a girl.
She was born 28. Oct. 1840 in Glud Parish:

I couldn't find Rasmine in the Danish 1880 census, so I ran a check through the records in Raarup Parish.

Rasmine married Niels Peder Pedersen on May 28th, 1869 in Raarup:

(two days after her brother Niels Hansen married Maren - on the same page)

She died in Raarup, March 27th, 1876:

I checked the parish records in-between for children but found none.
