Well it is Trueman and the contact only allows limited communication and Jackie has not replied yet. However, but a woman on Ancestry.com has 2 entries for a "jens Jensen", which is lowercase because she says she is uncertain about the 1st name. She has him born in both 1850 and 1854 and arriving in the early 1870's, she says she recalls stories from a long passed relative who says she vsited his "saloon"; whereas my Jensen was a shopkeeper (these two occupations are similar and may overlap!).

A friend from 23andme and ancestry.com found information from Jens' son, Carl, who died in Chicago in 1928.

She says:
>Did you know that Jens Jensen was from Skagen Denmark? And his wife was
> Sophia Carlsson from Kalmar Lan?

This wife appears to be Swedish, too.

Carl C. died in 1928, at 50 and is listed as a cerebral hemorrhage.
My friend seems to think Jens died inn 1917.

Well my genealogy friend sprang to spend $15 for the Cook County, Ill. Death Record, which found the Skagen secret, I had knowledge of this record but didn't realize that it would provide his parents birthplace...I assume the below was from a public Danish database, Jens father was Jens Christian Sorensen.
1855 census
Name: Age: Marital status: Occupation in household: Occupation: Birth place:
Jens Christian Sorensen 33 Gift mølleforpagter, husfader Skagen
Karen Jensdatter 34 Gift hans kone Tornby Sogn, Hjørring Amt
Anne Marie Jensen 7 Ugift deres datter Bindslev, Hjørring Amt
Jens Jensen 4 Ugift deres søn Skagen
Marie Jensen 2 Ugift deres datter Skagen
Kjerstine Marie Knudsen 22 Ugift deres tjenestepige Asdal Sogn, Hjørring Amt
Frederik Christian Pedersen 19 Ugift deres tjenestekarl Bindslev Sogn, Hjørring Amt
Niels Petter Christensesen 18 Ugift deres tjenestekarl Thornby Sogn, Hjørring Amt
Jacobine Eline Elisabeth Rasmussen 47 Enke købmandsenke, husmoderen Tvis Sogn, Hjørring Amt
Julie Elise Jacobsen 11 Ugift hendes datter Skagen

mølleforpagter (mill lessee).

That is Sorenson, I just caught that. This is the 1855 census. I guess the special Danish characters don't show up correctly.

well this got really off topic (trolls?) but the Galstad mtdna from biri i got analyzed 100%, all 16,400plus bases and it seems i have at least 11 TOTAL matches at FTDNA, one is an Iranian?, plus the others seem from the UK or Ireland...so, since I can take the line back to 1600 or so in Biri, maybe the mtdna came from slaving Irish women back in AD 1000?
