Looking for Jensen and Ancestors of Stenderup, Vejle, Denmark
I am looking for the ancestor's of Herman L. Jensen (b.1869, d. 1937) who at age 21 immigrated from Denmark to the USA. He arrived in New York City, NY, in 1890. He was involved in the Alsakan Gold Rush, moved to another state (I"m not sure where) where he met and married Julia Ann Place. Their only child was my great-grandpa, Clair Luther Jensen. Herman Jensen's naturalization papers are in possession of my family as are the obituaries of all three family members.
I would appreciate any and all help with my research, so I can verify his birthdate and parentage. I would very much like to go as far back as I can.

I too am looking for Jensen information. My grandmother was born in Soborg denmark. Her family - Arthur Henrik and sophie ane along with her brother Gunner all came from denmark in 1922 -- I'm sure that they had family in Denmark. Just haven't been able to find ANYONE! I'd love to know if perhaps there is some sort of link between my family and yours. You can e-mail me directly if that is ok - petmolly@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you. Denise
Hi folks,
This website is composed of a number of fantastic Danish genealogists! They love to help people and helped me find info on my relatives going back to the 1600s!

When you post, be as specific as possible (parents, dates, siblings, location - whatever you can provide). That helps them to help you.
Best of luck!
