Jens Ejler Kjemtrup (b. 1926) & Kenneth Kjemtrup were born in Denmark. It may have been Tonder, Vetra Teyn or Westerterp Denmark. Or Schleswig-Holstein Germany. Jens Ejler came to California, USA. I am wondering if Kenneth is a Danish name? I have very little info on my great Grandparents. I do know my Grandmother spoke of Tonder & Schleswig-Holstein. There is such a huge distance between them, however. Magdalena (Aunt Lena) Friedrichsen Kjemtrup, Peter's wife, was my grandmother's eldest sister. She took care of her siblings when their mother died in 1903. Their father remarried a Johanna/Joannna Uldall. It is very difficult to find any info on Uldall. Last night I found a Johanna Uldall (no date of birth, death) and found her parents came from Tonder Denmark. I do know Johanna Uldall died in childbirth in 1917 when my Uncle Jack was born. I have no idea whether his deceased twin was a boy or girl. I am told that Kenneth Kjemtrup lived in Denmark all his life and had 5 children. My grandmother's, Amelia Friedrichsen b.1902, Immigration Record states she was born in Vetra Teyn, Denmark. My Uncle Jack's, Jacob Christian Friedrichsen b. 1917, Immigration Record states he was born in Westerterp Denmark. A sister of his from the second marriage has an Immigration Record stating she was born in Westerterp Denmark, also. Last night I went onto Ancestry.de where I found Johanna Uldall. Thank you for your help. I truly appreciate it! Leslie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
