Hello,

I found what I gather is the enlistment of Peder Jensen, son of Jens Nielsen Falster, born 7 Jun 1864 in Klakring, Bjerre, Vejle.

Does this record say that he served from 1884 until April 1902?  If so, how would I find the other records related to his military career?  I am still learning the different military search pages so I am not sure where to go from here.

He never joined the Army. You found him in the rewritten roll 1893 (Omskrevet): 1887-89 ei mødt § 13.3.

After 1871, the roll for a particular lægd was rewritten every 11 years. He was removed from the roll in 1902 (Afsk.) at the age of 38 y.

He's here in the Tilgangsrulle 1882: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/billedviser?epid=16480943#19632,1532194 - right page, bottom.

There's no notation that he would have moved to another lægd.

§ 13 means that he didn't report for military service: https://mhenriksen.dis-danmark.dk/Mil/Vaernepligtslov_1869.pdf

I think he may have emigrated in 1885: http://www.ddd.dda.dk/vejlelister/soeg_udvandrede.asp

Hi Inger,

Thank you for all of that information.  I am not familiar with the emigration index yet but I think I found him departing for New York, New York, United States on 14 Mar 1885 from Hamburg, Germany aboard the ship INDIA but then he is lost.

On arrival his name is spelled Fensen, but here he is:

Verner, thank you so much for finding that!  Now I know he was headed to Iowa and might find him in the census.
