The initial research here was done by Cora Christofferson from Danish church records.  Since Denmark was one of the last areas of Europe to adopt Catholicism, the records of births and death are limited only to the time beginning with these church records.  These churches later became Lutheran. Most of these records are maintained in local archives and were microfilmed by the LDS. We still have an incomplete history of this family and I look forward to information that can complete the lists of the children.  The appendage of Mark or Mauk to the name has not shown up in the transcribed records I have found.   It does show up in the original documents of 1784. 

1775- Inger Marie Jensdatter of Sandholm age 16 is confirmed at the Norre Nissum parish, Skodborg, Ringkobing.  [Dan. Fam. Search =-Ringkøbing p97]
