JORGENSEN: Great-grandfather Hans Kristian JORGENSEN died in Holsted, Ribe, Denmark in 1880. He was married about 1861 to Anna Catherine CHRISTENSEN and had 8 children, many of who came to America. I would love to contact any of his descendants who still remain in Denmark. We plan to visit Denmark and would very much enjoy meeting relatives there.

Hans Kristian JORGENSEN was born 15 June 1836 in Norie Bjerthe By, Eltang Parish, Veile, Denmark and died 24 January 1880 in Holsted.
