Petersen You guys are good at this! Sorry that it's not my ancestor. I'll keep looking for her. I have conflicting information about her birthplace. One was Tønder, the other Leck. I suspect that Tønder is correct, though the family emigrated from Leck in 1878. Her future husband, Hans Peter Petersen, was from Tønder as well, though I haven't been able to locate him in the archive either (born June 6, 1850). Just as with this record I can find a Hans Petersen born about four months earlier but not on the exact day I need. Many thanks for the offers of assistance. One thing I note from perusing archivalieronline.dk is that my eyes are gradually becoming accustomed to the various handwriting and format styles of these records. It makes reading filmed records a lot easier for me. ---- saki@ucla.edu
