I wonder just WHERE the name originated. My ancestors are Danish, from the Vejle area.
I wonder if it originated in Norway and then traveled to Denmark & Sweden ? Kinda hard to figure in some ways. My line settled mostly in the Nebraska area, and only a few ever migrated out of that area. My father went to Michigan after WWII . I branched into WV and now am in Sandusky Ohio.
I am in touch with a few people in Denmark from this line.
BEST to all
