Hi Lesley, My Albertsen's also come from Aero. My Rasmus is Rasmus Lauritsen Albertsen born 24 July 1854 Soby, Aero, Den. He also has a brother Laurits and 12 more siblings! They immigrated to California and lived in Gustine, Newman and the Bay Area. I was just wondering if our Albertsen's are related? Their parents are Albert Pedersen Rasmussen and Egidia (Gie) Hansen. And they were both born in Aero. Thanks!

He was a Dane, from the island of Ærø ... and I have just found him arriving in Castle Garden: *** Name: Rasmus Albertsen Arrival Date: 14 May 1888 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1864 Age: 24 Gender: Male Port of Departure: Hamburg, Germany Destination: Franzisko Place of Origin: Denmark Ship Name: Sorrento Port of Arrival: New York Line: 24 Microfilm Serial: M237 *** Sparked my interest, because I have a photo taken at Cramer's California Gallery, 402 Kearny St., cor Pine, San Francisco ... which I now believe would be Rasmus and his young wife, perhaps1890. Rasmus's exact birth date is 24 Oct 1863. (Other possibility is that it is his 22-year-old brother Lars/Lauritz Albertsen, who was on the same vessel). BTW, Parents of the migrating sons are Albert Albertsen (1824-1881) and Agnes Hedvig Caspersen ... (1829-1910). (Albert Albertsen was my Australian great-grandfather's eldest brother). Help, anyone? It would be great, if I could add some American cousins to my tree :-) Greetings from Oz, Lesley (Melbourne, Australia ... *cold* here today, after a spate of heat and bushfires)

Hi Valerie, Hmmm, well ... I have just scrolled through my tree, and can't find a plausible Rasmus (or Laurits). (I have a Laurits Albertsen from 1734, but that's way to early). But, everyone from Ærø is related *somewhere* ... we just haven't yet found the link :-) Regards, Lesley (From Melbourne, Australia ... on a bright, sunny day) > > My Albertsen's also come from Aero.
