Listers,

I'm searching for decendants of Ane Marie Christensdatter (b.1844
Heltborg - ??) who married Niels Christen Clausen about 1870. They
came to Ydby, near Heltborg, Refs, Thisted in 1873. They had at least
8 children:

1. Ane Caroline Clausen (b.1872? ?)
2. Christen Christensen Clausen (3 Dec 1873 Ydby)
3. Carl Clausen (7 April 1875 Ydby)
4. Karen Clausen (1975? Ydby?)
5. Jens Peter Clausen (1 April 1876 Ydby)
6. Maren Clausdatter (27 June 1878 Ydby)
7. Christen Sindberg Clausen (5 June 1880 Ydby - 24 March 1961 ?)
8. Ottilia Clausen 19 Aug 1883 Ydby - 30 Aug 1883 Ydby)

I found most of the above info while living in DK, but this was as far
as I got. Notice I didn't find birth info on some children, but these
children appear in the 1880 Ydby census.

7th son, Christen, married Johanne Pauline Poulsen (9 Apr 1872 - 20
Dec 1937, locations not known, but probably Vestervig). They had at
least 6 children while living in the Tygerstrap area of Vestervig .
Here they are:

1. Carl Marius Sindberg Clausen (b.15 April 1907 Vestervig). Carl may
have emigrated to Canada.
2. Jenny Christiane Sindberg Clausen (5 May 1908 Vestervig). Jenny
married a Toft and was alive in 1999. 3. Augusta Marie Sindberg
Clausen (9 Aug 1909 Vestervig).
4. Niels Kristian Sindberg Clausen (23 July 1910 Vestervig).
5. Wilhelm Emil Sindberg Clausen (22 April 1912 Vestervig - August
1999 Vancouver BC Canada). Wilhelm was known as Bill in Canada. He
never married. He became a famous flyer of single engine craft.
6. Johan Clausen (???). In 1999 he lived in Sweden.

I have a photo supposedly of Christen and Johanne's family taken about
1930. It shows 2 older adults and 9 younger people, 4 females and 5
males, ranging from about 7 years old to early 20s. The 1921
Vestervig census might show this family.

Any additional info on this family would be greatly appreciated.
