    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.

  3. 4.  August SorensenAugust Sorensen Descendancy chart to this point (1.Jens1) was born Abt 1862; died Abt 1941.

    Notes:

    August may have been the first in the family to come to America. He was here for a period of three years when he was a young man. It was he who encouraged Nils Peter Nicolaisen to come over. However, he couldn't speak English very well, and had some difficulties with friends. He prayed about the situation. Then he had a dream in which he saw a girl by a farm, but he was warned not to contact the girl. When he was looking for work on a farm, he saw a scene that looked like his dream, so he avoided that farm. Eventually he did get to work on a farm here for a while, and learned to speak English a little better. Sometimes he wrote to Trine and her family. When he returned to Denmark, he courted Martinus's sister for a while; then he went to work on a farm where there was a mother and daughter. The daughter was Hansine, whom he fell in love with and married.

    The brothers Rasmus, August, and Soren frequently went to visit Trine's grandmother on Mols. The topic of conversation often turned to politics, which made the grandma very much afraid!

    I have roughly estimated the birth years of most of August's children.

At one of his places of employment, she would bring him his lunch. She also loved her step-mother, Kirstine, and cried when she received the news in America that she had died.

    After Trine's grandmother on her mother's side died, the grandfather married again. He was a very good carpenter -- a builder -- but Trine saw him only occasionally. The step--grandmother lived on Mols, and Trine went there frequently to visit and spend vacation days.
