Poul Jepsen Family

The research here was done by Cora Christofferson from Danish church records. We still have incomplete family history. I look forward to information that can complete the lists of the children. The extracted christening record from the LDS files lists him as Poul Ibsen, christened 21 Dec 1721 Odby, Thisted, Denmark. An earlier christening of Poul Ibsen took place on 18 Oct 1716 Odby, Thisted, Denmark from the same parents. My guess is that this earlier infant died. According to Danish traditions at that time, a later child needed to be named Poul to take his place in the naming pattern. Johanne Mikkelsdatter was christened on 8 Aug 1734 in Søndbjerg, Thisted, Denmark. Her parents are listed and Michel Madsen and Karen Pedersdatter.

1809, June 2 - Johanne Mikkelsdatter dies in Serup at age 75. (I believe it also says "baker's wife". ) buried on the 8th of June. Søndbjerg, Thisted.[Dan Fam Search p 265]
