Ole,

Thanks so much for the help!  Can you tell me if the records are in German, Danish, or a combination of both?

Sharon

[Ole Westermann]

The records are in German, as they often are in parts of Southern Jutland (Sønderjylland) at that time.
But a great advantage is, that they very often contain a lot of useful informations.

[Sharon Allen]

Ole - can you tell the me what the date is for Else Frick's birth?

Thanks again!

Sharon

[Ole Westermann]

She was born Oct.9 and bapt. Oct.13 in 1799.

By the way I have localized the origin of the Frich/Frik name.
That was where Michel Christensen was born in Fabjerg parish - maybe a house or a farm.

Ole

[Sharon Allen]

Ole,

Interesting.  Did you locate a birth record or what did you find to show his birth place?

"By the way I have localized the origin of the Frich/Frik name.

Thank you so much for your help.  I have a long weekend coming up and I know how I'll be spending it!

*the locality Frik can't be found.

Ole & Inger,

I am overwhelmed and so thankful for your kindness.  I'm going to take some time to organize all this information and get the documents & sources into my family tree.  I'm sure that I will have other questions that will come up and I'll get back to you with them.  I have also found others of my Danish family in records that I'll need help transcribing and translating, but that will wait for another day. Again, thank you so much.  I really appreciate your help!

[Sharon Allen]

Ole,

Is the 2 Jun 1799 date the date of death or burial?  Thank you!

Sharon

[Ole Westermann]

That is day of burial.

Ole

[Sharon Allen]

Ole - that was quick!  Might there be a death record?

Sharon

[Sharon Allen]

Where are Jæstrup and Hørsted located?  Are they also in Skodborg, Ringkøbing, Denmark?  Thank you.

Sharon

[Ole Westermann]

No, there is no death record. I searched for a probate record, but with no succes.
Jæstrup/Jestrup is in Sønderhaa/Sønderhå parish, nabour parish to Hørsted. Both in Thisted amt (county).
At https://www.dis-danmark.dk/kort/kort.htm click Thisted, and you will see in Hassing Herred both Hørsted and Sønderhå p.

Ole

[Inger Toudal]

Hørsted and Jæstrup/Jestrup are located in Hassing district, Thisted county: https://www.dis-danmark.dk/kort/kort.htm

Hørsted is a parish, as well as a place name in that parish.

According to http://www.krabsen.dk/stednavnebase/ Jestrup is a place name in Sønderhaa parish.

For place names, you can also use https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/ - click county, click parish, and choose 'Placenames'.

- or use the clickable map at https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Denmark_Genealogy

Always a good idea to look at the first image in the church records: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=165066#165066,27727924

Best regards,
Inger

[Sharon Allen]

Thanks again to both of you!
