I want to be clear as to the names of those your are looking for. If your grandmother is looking for siblings that she did not know of the existence until recently. I would think that both the mother and father are not the same people as your grandmother's mother and father. Correct? Are you looking for Anna Voldby and Rigmor Volby and they were both born in Alameda County. Do you know which city in Alameda County? I am assuming Rigmor is a woman? Anna was born in 1924 and Rigmor was born 1926? Since is Voldby is such an unusual name, did other Voldby change the spelling of their name and what was it. Just a few questions for clarification. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 1:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [CAAlameda] Searching for my danish family, Surname VOLDBY This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Voldby Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zV.2ADI/1827 Message Board Post: I just recently found out, that my maternal grandmother has to sister, born in Alameda County in 1924 and 1926. Their names are Anna and Rigmor, and I think they are still living, since I have found nothing in the death indexes or any obits. Problem could be, that they married and changed their names. Their father's name was Laurs or Louis Laursen Voldby and their mother Anna Nielsen. My 80-year old mother and her brothers and sister are very interested in getting in contact with this new found family. Can anyone help?
