I am sorry to burden you with a letter written in English but I am sure an
attempt to put this information into Danish would be even a greater burden
for you to read.

I am assuming that the area where you live is the ancestral ground of my
father's paternal line. If so, I hope there is something you can tell me or
lead me to read, etc., about the Hvidsten area that would add to the meager
knowledge we have of our ancestral family.
