Notes:

Julius was born in the area called Mols, Denmark. It is a peninsula north of Aarhus.

Julius married Hilda Katrina Christiansen 28 May 1908, Vor Frue Kirke, Aarhus, Denmark.

[Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her name is sometimes spelled as: Hilda Cathrine Christjansen.

Denmark was taken over by the Germans in 1936. World War II was raging. Just before Hilda died in 1942, she said she was so glad that America had entered the war, because that meant that Denmark would be liberated.

Notes:

Soren worked in several different places, as Katrine later remembered. At one time he was a fireman in a boiler room in Sofie Amaliegaard (old Hornslet). He also worked in a candy factory, as did his son, Peter. But Soren felt it wasn't a healthy place to work! He was also a miller, and bought the Ormslev Molle in 1902.

Soren married Ane Katrine Brahe Christensen 3 Nov 1880, Tved Church, Mols, Denmark. Ane (daughter of Jens Brahe Christensen and Bodil Cathrine Nielsdatter) was born 20 Sep 1857, Tved, Dejret, Mols, Denmark; died 17 Sep 1888, Denmark; was buried , Graven 16, Damsogn, Aarhus, Denmark. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her name on the birth/baptismal records is Ane Cathrine Christensen.

Ane Katrine (Brahe Christensen) Sorensen died from after-effects of childbirth in 1888, within a year after her daughter Ane Katrine Bothilde was born. Her son Julius used the name Brahe as a middle name for all his sons. The origin of this name within the family is uncertain; it is in parentheses in the birth record of her sister Maren, and is also written in Ane's marriage record to Soren. It may have come from the area around Grenaa-Ebeltoft, according to our relative Bodil.

Is there a connection with famous Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe? At this point it is only an intriguing possibility. Read about him at the following web sites (or simply do an internet search for his name):

Notes:

I have estimated Carl's birth year.

Carl — Ane Marie Christiansen. Ane was born 9 Oct 1839, Terslev Mark, Overdrev, Sjaelland, Denmark; died Aft 1924, Denmark. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

We have a photograph of Ane taken on 13 November 1924, when she was 86 years old. The notation on the back of the photo says she lived in her later years with her daughter Kristine and son-in-law, Peter Sorensen. I don't know that Peter is any relation to our Sorensen family.

She is in the DK 1911 and 1925 censuses with Chresten Peter Sorensen and his wife Maren Kirstine Kristiansen and family at Aarhus. In 1925 her surname is spelled Christiansen.
