Another source called her Petra Nielsdatter, but Petra Larsdatter is right, cause I`ve now allready found her and her family in censyus 1865 Christiania (Oslo) in Norway:-) I am still interested in descendans of Jens Dorch and now know this: Petra and Jens got 2 sons: Neils Fredrick Dorch born 1889 and Edwin Dorch born 1891. Petra died 1895 in Kings, New York. Jens ( he called himself James Dorch) remarried Johanna (born Pedersen) 1896. They were divorced and Jens married again a woman by the name Edith before 1930. Jens died after 1930? - and Johanna in 1966. I dont know about Edith. The son Neils Frederick Dorch died probably 1965 in Reno, Nevada. The son Edwin Dorch married twice. First with Atlanta Raush and they got at least one son by the name James Henry Dorch born 1914 in Union, New Jersey. Second time he married Ruth E. Edwin died Vero Beach, Florida 1968. Thanks for the help I allready got:-) Ole Dorch Denmark. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
