My family came from Aalborg Denmark, they were orininally Nielsen, but in 1905 they all asked for special permissiion to use the name Sahl. All except my great grand father, Martinus Jensen Nielsen, because he came to the states in 1901. His father was Jens Nielsen (Sahl) born Jan 17,1842. Jens married Kirsten Christensdatter, born March 13, 1849 both in Munksjorup,Bjornsholm. If any of the sounds familiar please let me know. Thanks Peggy Nielsen Clark
