Thanks in advance. > Hi Michael, I have her father as Baltzer Hemmingsen, also. I have a note on Dorothea which reads, "datter g(ift). Theophilus Joensen Schancke. sl(?). av s(onge).pr(æst) Zacharias Joensen Schancke". I have the marriage of Maren to Theophilus Joensen Schancke, but what relationship there was between Theophilus and Zacharias I haven't determined. What could "sl" be an abbreviation for? Theophilus was, "Pers.kapellan i Gand, RO fra 1643, Sogneprest i Egersund 1650-" and appears to be the son of Jon Mogensen Schancke and Magdalena Andersdatter Foss.
