My search for Johan RIIS (or RIHS) continues!
So last time, I decided to work up a client report. Instead, I ended up creating a document study and then an accompanying work plan. Here is that plan, from page 4 of my report:
I had already done 1-5 so, but I ended up starting with #6, and did not find what I was expecting.
I figured, since Gertrude was from Knudsker and her son Didrich was born in Nylarsker that she would have moved to Nylarsker at some point - I know, brilliant. :) So, I started looking for a move-in record for her in Nylarsker before Mar 1816, when Didrich was born.
If she lived there more than 9 months prior to his birth, then she would have gotten pregnant there. If she moved in while pregnant, then she would have conceived Didrich at her previous parish...and that's where Johan would have been too.

Arkivalieronline (www.sa.dk/ao/ : downloaded 15 July 2012), Gertrude
Kristine Didrichsdatter, moving in record (Tilgangsliste); Nylarsker Parish,
1815, pg. 42-b, no. 14.
Gertrude moved from Copenhagen!!! (København)
Now is a time for a pretty great aside.
Last Saturday I went to the Family History Library to take some more Danish research classes. I guess I didn't read the course descriptions very well because when I got there I found out that they didn't really apply to me. The first was Southern Denmark research (which got transferred back and forth with Germany, so their records are a bit different), then Big City Research, and finally, Copenhagen research. Since I didn't really have any Big City or Copenhagen ancestors, I was just going to leave and work in the library, but decided to stay and see if I could learn anything - I did!
And now I can use it!
So, next I need to track Gertrude to Copenhagen, figure out what parish she was living in and see if Johan is nearby.

Confirmation Record - Peder Jensen
Oh, these Jensen's! I have a few additional records for them, and then, I hit a brick wall. So, I'll post what I have so far and then may have to focus my efforts elsewhere for a while.
I have found Peder Jensen's (b. 1839) Confirmation record in the Nylarsker parish, Bornholm, Denmark:

Interesting:
- From his christening record I found his parents names - Christen and Kristine.
- The physician administering his vaccine doesn't match what I have from his marriage record. Here it states "Grove" but his marriage record says "Zahrtmann". Most of the other confirmants on this page were vaccinated by Zahrtmann...I wonder if this is the time period when the physician changed and the priest may have made an error. Then again, Peder's entry is out of order so perhaps "Grove" was the correct doctor.

1880 Census - Peder and Christine Jensen
From the 1870 Census I found two children for Peder and Christine Jensen. I've also gone back and found christening records for those children and for Peder. Since both children were christened in the Lutheran church I guess the Jensen's didn't get baptized into the LDS church like Christine's family did...at least not yet. :)
Moving forward in time, I decided to look for the Jensen's in the 1880 Danish census. I have family accounts, from the Funch/Lund's in the USA, that the Jensen's did immigrate at some future time. It would have to be after 1880 since they are in the census --
This time they have another son, Jacob Peter Jensen, age 1. There is a 10 year gap between Laurits and Jacob. Did they have more children who did not live to 1880? Miscarriages wouldn't be recorded but stillbirth's would probably get a burial record (but I would imagine not a birth record). If they did have children that lived for a short while, then I should be able to find a birth record. I'll have to go through all the church records for those years and see what I can find.
For now, here's the original image of the census:

1870 Census - Poder Jensen and Christine Funk/Lund
![]() |
| Christine Funch Lund |
Since I already had Peter and Christine's marriage record from 1865 in Nylarsker parish I thought I might try to find them in the 1870 Census. I guessed they may have stayed in Nylarsker, but since I didn't know where Peter was from I wasn't sure. Instead of looking through the 49 pages of census records for the parish--which I would have been willing to do--I decided to use the online index first to see if they were even in that parish. Using the Dansk Demografisk Database I looked for "Peder Jensen" in "Bornholm" in the "1870" Census. I further restricted his age to "30-39." The first entry looked promising, so I selected "Show Household":
I had seen Christine's name listed as "Claudine Christine" in various online databases so I was okay with the name variation, particularly since her birth place matched what I had. So here we see two children born into the family.
Feeling good about this entry I decided to go ahead and pull up the original image:

Interesting:
- They are listed as "Lutheran" while I know that by this point Christine's family have all joined the LDS Church and are listed in the same census--in fact on the very next page--as "Mormon". I'll have to take another look at the Bornholm LDS Branch records and see if I can find any information about Christine or Peter's baptism.
- If Peter and Christine were still Lutheran then their children would have been christened and should be found in the parish records. Both are listed as being born in Nylarsker.
- Peter's occupation is "Fisher" and so is his father-in-law Didrich's. Do they work together?
- I now know that Peter was born in the Nylarsker parish so I can search for his christening record. He would have been born about 1840.

Bornholm, where art thou?
In looking for Mathias Kristian Funch (or Christian Funk Lund)'s Birth/Christening record I used the Danish State Archives. This is a great website that includes digitized images of the Danish Census' and Parish Church records. But, you do need to know the town, parish, and county that you want to look in.
I knew where Mathias was born from his death certificate - Bornholm, Denmark. The Family Group Record sheets on the newFamilySearch specified his birthplace as Amager, Nylarskar, Bornholm, Denmark. That was a lot more detailed. But where exactly is that?
Denmark is made up of many islands in addition to the main peninsula. Bornholm is the farthest east of those islands. In fact, it's closer to Sweden than to the rest of Denmark! Excellent!
Here's what wikipedia had to say:
Now to get more specific...Mathias is from Arnager.
Arnager is in the Vester (west) part of the island and is part of the Nylars parrish (Nylarskar). Mathias' mother Karen was born in Nylarskar (the parrish) but I dont' have record for which town. She had a daughter, Claudina, before marrying Diderich and I have her as being born in Aakirkeby which is just north west of Nylars. All of Didrich and Karen's other children were born in Arnager. As far as I have information Mathias' ancestors are from Bornholm, at least to his grandparents. From there, I'm not sure.
If you do a Google Search for pictures of Bornholm you can see how beautiful it is...I definately want to visit someday.

Here's what wikipedia had to say:
Bornholm ([bɒːnˈhʌlˀm]; Old Norse: Burgundaholmr, "the island of the Burgundians") is a Danish island in the Baltic Sea located to the east of (most of) the rest of Denmark, the south of Sweden, and the north of Poland. The main industries on the island include fishing, arts and crafts like glass making and pottery using locally worked clay, and dairy farming. Tourism is important during the summer. The topography of the island consists of dramatic rock formations in the north, sloping down towards “pine and deciduous forests” (greatly damaged by storms in the 1950s) and farmland in the middle and sandy beaches in the south.
Now to get more specific...Mathias is from Arnager.
Arnager is in the Vester (west) part of the island and is part of the Nylars parrish (Nylarskar). Mathias' mother Karen was born in Nylarskar (the parrish) but I dont' have record for which town.
