I found some information on the
www.familysearch.org net, apparently provided by a Janice
Nielsen Bengry of Cardston, about a Niels
Andreasen of
Aalborg, Denmark. He was born about 1799, according to this information.
I believe that a Niels
Andreasen was the father of my great grandmother, Marie Caroline Elizabetha Dorthea
Nielsen, born in
Aalborg in 1835. She married Paul Christian
Peterson (or alternate spelling) on board a ship
Monarch of the Sea, in Liverpool
Harbor as they were about to leave for Salt Lake City via NYC in 1861. Marie's full name is what was recorded in the minutes of the ship on the date of their marriage in May, 1861.
I don't have an email address for Ms. Bengry, so I thought I'd try this method. If someone in Cardston knows her, please ask her to email me directly: Thanks in advance.
