Need help finding family

[Laurence Baustert]

Can you please translate the Danish on the back of some old photos of my grandfathers family.  This is only the clues we have to our heritage.  Any help would be appreciated.

There is not much information, however there might be a few usefull informations.

Peter M.C. von Klargaard
This could be read as Peter M C from Klargaard.

I have only found one location Klargaard in Denmark. a farm 1 km North West from the small village Vium near Kjellerup.

Søren Plantage  Means Sørens Plantation, that also indicate, that we are in the western part of Denmark , The Word plantage are rarely used in Eastern Denmark.

Klargaard is a rare name only 33persons have that Family name in Denmark.
There is 23.000 Mikkelsen.

If you know te names of the persons who left Denmark for  US you might find them in the Danish immigration archives and when they left Denmark.
At arrival they were also registered in US, so there might also be some information in US.

There's an address for Anna and Hans in 1953: Vestre Alle 24.

When you look it up at http://sogn.dk/ you find several towns where such an address is located.

Was Mikkelsen Anna's maiden name, or the surname of her husband? Anna was obviously the sister of Peter M. C. von Klargaard.

Best regards,
Inger T.

I have found 1 location in Denmark called Klargaards Høj.
That means Klar Farms High/Hill

Could it be that one or more of the photos was processed in Aalborg?  The red stamps may give a clue.

[Otto Kjærgaard]

Could be its 1 hours drive from Vium.
There is a Vestre Alle in Aalborg. The houses there were build before WW2

If you have a picture of the stamp it might give an indication of the year.

World War II draft registration card for Peter M C von Klargaard:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11124-19252-83?cc=1861144

According to the card, born 17 Sep. 1893 in Aalborg town or county.

Best regards,

Inge Toudals information is very usefull since it give date of birth.

But the name is a challenge. The name von Klargaard is not found in Denmark. von is probably added after arrival to US.
