Locating information on Olaf Bunck from Vejle

[Ruth Becker Morenz]

I am hoping someone could help me in finding information on a gentleman named Olaf Bunck who is originally from Vejle.  I found him at the age of 17 living with a family in the 1880 census.  He is a baker's apprentice.  He came to the United States in 1892-3 (I have his Emigration info) and was a baker in Chicago, Illinois.  I am puzzled as to why I cannot find anything on him prior to 1880 and after in Vejle. 

I have tried different spellings of his last name.  He is listed on the 1880 census as Olaf Bunker. 

Thank you in advance for any help or guidance you can give me.

Sincerely,
Ruth Becker Morenz

About Ole Pedersen born 1780, father of Hanne Karen Marie Maren Sophie Inger Cathrine Petersen, born 1824 in Vejle - I hav further information.

If you understand a little danish i could send you some pages from my notes (schematic)

The information goes back to about 1500 and some of it is based on an old book from 1870.
