My grandfather came here in 1905/6, he had just m. Marie NIELSEN before leaving Denmark. He came from RANDERS and Marie from PURKEER. They lived in Colo. for awhile but moved to Barre, VT and started a dairy farm. They had six children: Hazel, Axel, Imogene, Harold, Ejnar and my father, Theordore, Jr.
I don't know what ship they arrived on or where exactly they lived in Denmark. I do know my grandfather was b. 26 April 1882 and served in the Army but nothing of his family. My g.grandparent were named Christopher NIELSEN Marie KEIR.
Does anyone else connect with these THYGESENS?
Best,
