Help wanted :

Hello, my name is Jean-Louis Lovenfosse and I am from Brussels. My sister, who lives in California, has just bought a book in a auction and she asked me to help her understand what it is. On the first page of the book, there is :

Studsmaaalbog (printed)
for

Aunslev Sogn, Vindinge Hems

with that book comes a piece of paper with the name Laurits Peder Holgersen, the date (birth? I can't read the printed words before the date : 1865 21 Mai
(another printed word and) : Skiejllerup (?)[/img]
(some other printed words and) Lars Holgersen and another date : 26-12-1882

I have 2 pictures (scans) of those pages.

I have some difficulties to read the Danish words and letters.

Could you give me any idea about where to go with those informations?

I wish you an excellent day,

Jean-Louis Lovenfosse (from Brussels, Belgium)

ps : I speak also french and flamish

Hi.

Perhaps you think how the book are to be found in Califorfornia.

Laurits Peter Holgersen left Denmark in 1896 with wife and two children

In the US federal census for 1900 the family is situated in Sugar Creek, Wisconsin, 1910 in Pipestone, Minnesota, 1930 in Kern, California and finaly 1940 in Santa Cruz, California. All the times Laurits was a dairyman, buttermaker or retired butterman ( 1940 ) ( Information from anscestry.com )
