Before the first Danish constitution in 1849 there was no freedom of religion in Denmark. It was only in a few towns - among them Fredericia - that people were allowed to live without beeing members of the Danish Lutheran Church. In Fredericia there was - and still are - meny members of the Reformed Church. Fredericia also had a synagog. In 1685 the French king repealed the Edict of Nantes which had allowed the huguenots (members of the Reformed Church) to live in a number of secure cities in France. The persecution of the huguenots that followed led many to take refuge in the electorate Brandenburg, Germany. In the 1720's The Danish king Frederik IV invited a number of huguenot families from Brandenburg to settle in Fredecicia. The above Duponts and Hermanns are probably descendents of those families. -- Regards, Helmer Christiansen

Thank you Lars for this. For a long time I had been trying to find info on Jens or John Brandt Koch. I believe his mother is french, because Dupont is a french name. Hmmm he could have been born out of wedlock, but it is somthing to look into. I am not sure if it is true or not, but it is said him and the danish royal family did not get along very well.

Polisound, Javlov does NOT sound Danish... nor even rings a bell, even taking into consideration, that a lot of Scandinavian origins were spelled "soundex-wise" after a few years "over there..." As you write, none of the districts in Denmark is even remotely close to Javlov... Some of the cities here ends with "....sund", e.g. Frederikssund, Hadsund etc. etc indeed, but no city starts with "Polis..:" Any other suggestions ? Kind regards, Martin Denmark

This is exactly right. Jens is the danish name for John? Thanks so much for this. Long ago one of my great distant uncles, whom was a son to Christian Jensen had hired someone to do work on the Johnson Family. I had found out later that person who did the work did not do a successful job at it, so I am trying to fix the problem and trace back on Jens Brandt Koch and Anne Christensen's ancestorial line. Christian is my great-great Grandfather on my father's father's mother side of the family. Sincerely, A.

I'd be interested in knowing what name you found him under there in that database as I had previously looked without success, but I figured that you knew some spelling variations. What is your source for the village and county: "Polisound, Javlov"? There seem to be spelling problems with both of those. Javlov isn't one of today's counties in Denmark and the name doesn't sound very Danish. There is the southern geographic region that was contested between Germany & Denmark in the past, but I think we need to look for different spellings and knowing the source would help in determining what sort of errors might have been made. Here's also hoping that our Danish research friends jump in here to help. :-) Bob
