Correcting myself: my unknown ancestor is my grandfather's father (father's father's father). My grandfather's mother's name is Anna Sophie Boysen ( I do not have her birth records), this is stated on my grandfather's birth record. My grandfather's name is Jakob Boysen, he was born Aug 6 1914, L=C3=B6gumkloster, Jutland, DK. (former L=C3=BCgumkloster, Schleswig-Hols= tein, kreis Tondern, Germany) Bengt BengtB <[email protected]>
