Hi my name is Debbie Jeffries, I am researching my family tree on my mother side. My mother's great Grandfather was Laurits Hansen Skjonnemand born in about the 1800's, I think he was born in Denmark. He married johanne Marie Schuemacher.
They had 4 children, they were, Jens Peter Lauritzen Skjonnemand, Anne Skjonnemand, Peter Lauriten Skjonnemand and Hine(Oline) Kathrine Skjonnemand.
Jens Peter Lauritzen Skjonnemand was born about 1857, he married on the 3 December 1891 to Johanne Cathrine Olsen. They had two children, Johanne Catherine Victoria born 17/10/1892 and Olga Laurentsia born 26/03/1894.
I have a record of a Jens Peter Skjonnemand coming to Australia in 1887 aged 29 onboard the 'Dacca', the captain was Johnstone. He left London on the 22nd October 1887 and arrived at brisbane on the 14th December 1887. Then in 1890 he was naturalised. When first arriving in Australia, he bought a farm at UPPER FREESTONE CREEK Warwick 4370 Queensland.
I do have other research but I am missing some information, so if there is anyone out there who is doing the 'SKJONNEMAND' family tree, I would love to hear from you.
