[Lykke Harndahl Claville]

Hi

I'm looking for informations Niels Jørgen Jensen who immigratet to Iowa.

He was born 5 sep. 1858 in Saltum sogn, Denmark, his mother was Ellen Katrine Nielsdatter and his father was Jens Christian Jørgensen.

I know that he in april 1891 was living in Counsil Bluff, Iowa

Can anyone help with futher info?

Kindly

So many possibilities on Family Search. Of the 1900 census, I do not see someone born in September 1858. If he was married, his wife's name could be a key to finding the right Niels.

Hi,  The 1900 Iowa census reported that Else M. Jensen, Niels' wife, was living in Hazel Dell, Iowa with 6 children.  She was listed as a widow and working as a weaver.   You can find a family tree for the Jensen family on familysearch.org.   I believe it reports that they immigrated in 1889 and that Niels died before 1900 but you would have to find that out in the Iowa vital records but I do not know if they are online.  I could not find their emigration registration in Denmark at "Dansk Demografisk Database."  They may have departed from Germany.  I had trouble searching castlegarden.org for their arrival but that website is often screwed up.

I hope that helps.  Kindest regards,

Rog
