After years of searching and several false starts, I have nailed down the identity of my g grandfather. He was Hans Jorgen Juhl born May 21, 1866 in Tofland Parish of Hederslev County Denmark. He was the illegitimate son of one Hans Iversen and widow Marie Hjul. Marie's husband and two children died earlier and she named her new son after her departed husband thus named Juhl rather then Hansen or Iversen. Marie died when he was 10 and unknown what he did until emigrating in 18885 to the USA. Hans Iversen disappeared before the birth of Hans. Just do not want to leave false trails to mislead others.
