Notes
Ane Kirstine married Soren Sorensen after his first wife died, while his children were still very young. She already had a daughter Marie, who of course became a step-sister to the others, and was known to the next generation as "Tante Marie."
Ane Kirstine had worked for a family for 15-18 years, but the couple and their son died of tuberculosis. The husband in the family had been a manager in a factory where Soren worked, and there Soren met Ane Kirstine, and eventually married her.
In later life, as a widow, Ane Kirstine lived as a tenant at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Marie & Marinus Andersen, in Aabyhoj, Skotojoforretning.
