About: This is
the level of my genealogy where I start to run out of substantive information.
I know more about the other branch of my great-grandfather's family than I do
about this one, and have three photos of his grandmother on that side, but none
of this grandmother. Obviously, she lived in Vejle her whole life, and was
surrounded by family until her death. Her husband was a farmer, so I imagine
their lives were busy, and that they struggled quite a bit. Especially with
eight kids to raise and feed.
She lived a good long life, though; she was 83 when she
died. At her death, all 8 of her children that I know of were still very much
alive, and all had started families by then. She had just welcomed her 44th
grandchild into the world. She also had at least one great-grandchild before
her death, and at least three more were born in the following year.
