Hi genealogists, In my familytree is someone with the surname Bahnsen. Her grandfather came from Denmark to the Netherlands. The person I am talking is called Johanna Bahnsen and she was born in 1873 in the Netherlands. After Johanna's death a scrapbook stayed in my family. The people on the photos are probably Danish people with the surname Bahnsen. As far as I know are there no people with the surname Bahnsen anymore, so there isn't anybody I can ask to have a look at the photos. Is there anybody joining this newsgroup who is interested in the surname Bahnsen? Someone who can try to indentify the people on the photos. Thank you for reading this. Greetings from, Patric Langevoort

Hi list Found this on the Norwegian web site Hi List, Just thought I would pass on this great site I have come across. It is called GenCircles and I uploaded my tree the other night. When you upload your tree they do a smartmatch and compare the names in your tree with names in other trees submitted. I have made contact with a fellow researcher of one of my families through this site. It is well worth taking a look if you haven't already. www.gencircles.com Jenny Victoria Australia Allen J.

Johnson David, Try going to http://www.tranexp.com:2000/InterTran Mostly, you'll get a fair translation from Norwegian to English - at least you should be able to understand the general meaning of the Norwegian text, provided it's bokmål and not nynorsk. If it's archaic (Dano-Norwegian), try translating from Danish to English. But please don't use the translator for translating FROM English TO Norwegian! That text will look very funny for a Norwegian and no one will take you seriously :-) Regards, Elin

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Viola.

In the 1865 census, my Great-Grandmother Hanne Elisabeth Hansdatter and her sister Marie Hansdatter appear with an asterick * following their names. I can find no key for this. In the 1875 census I cannot find my Great-Grandmother with the family, but the notation under Family Status states that sister Marie (b. 1863) is Forsorges af Faderen. Can someone help me? The father in both censuses is Hans Hansen, and the mother Inger Lovise. I just cannot figure out what that * means. They are in Flekkefjord in both censuses. I wonder if Inger is their mother or a step-mother? Thanks for your help. Happy Holidays! Carol

Hej. Niels Rosenkrantz, der blev statsminister i Danmark var født 9.9.1757 i Øyestad (Øjestad) i Norge. Han var søn af kaptajn, senere major (kommandant på Vardøhus, Norge) Otto Christian Rosenkrantz (1727-85) og Karen Johanne Rønning (1719-79). Der er ca 10 steder i Norge med stednavnet Øyestad. I hvilket af disse er Niels Rosenkrantz født ? Med venlig hilsen Flemming Damgaard Larsen E-mail: arfdl@ra.dk www.netby.net/Centrum/Alle/Damgaard
