I looked at your other post way back in 1999. Our Anne Nilsen is only recorded thus In Aust. but elsewhere as /Anna Nielsen/Nilsdatter/ Nielsdotter/ married Anders Christian Frandsen in 1844 in the Schleswig Holstein area (from Military Records only). I shall have to recheck those dates also but wish to reply initially now. Basic tree is there for viewing; my ancestor line is from their son Hans Christian Frandsen (b. 1854?)who came to Australia in 1870 and married Mary Jane Kearney. I have not done any real research in Denmark as yet, (need to be sure of Australian research first)nor found any of Hans' siblings, but the name Pedersen seems to keep cropping up as a possibility; also Hansen, Andersen and (Frideriksen) Christiansen and others but as yet unconfirmed. It is most likely that Hans` siblings, one or more may have gone to U.S. Would like to clear this up. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
