Hello all-
I know this is a Norwegian Heritage website, but if anyone is willing, and "if" it is allowed in this miscellaneous forum, I need some help trying to trace back my Great Grandparents in Denmark.
I believed that I had found the correct ancestors back to the late 1700's
I was wrong. The help that I received in the the Norwegian genealogy thread from jkmarker, and Einar and mostly Kåre was amazing!
With what I was able to learn about how information is collected, I discovered my previous work was wrong in the Danish census of 1880.
I did find the correct Allexander Victor Møller, age 16 of Aarhus, Hasle, Aarhus Købstad, Århus Købstad 3, , 174/fiskergade, 102, FT-1880
and the correct Ella Marie Olsen age 18 of Aarhus, Ning, Viby, Viby Sogn, , Marselisborg, 12, FT-1880
I tried creating a direct link to each person but was not successful- here is one to the general website-http://www.ddd.dda.dk/
I also found some sort of reservation for travel to New York. http://ddd.dda.dk/udvandrer/udvandr_soeg_uk.asp?navn=&stilling=&alder=&sidste_oph_sted=&s_sogn=&s_oph_amt=&best_by=&best_stat=&best_land=&kontraktens_nr=496200&aar=&maaned=
Name: Møller, Alex V. Occupation: Skomager Age: 28 Destination: N.Y. Contract no.: 496200 Registration date: 6/29/1891 Birth place: ? Birth place: ? Last res. parish: Århus Last res. county: Århus Last residence: Aarhus Destination country: USA Destination city: New York City Destination state: New York State Name of ship: Indirekte IDcode: I9192M0213
Name: Møller, Ella Marie Occupation: Hustru Age: 30 Destination: N.Y. Contract no.: 496200 Registration date: 6/29/1891 Birth place: ? Birth place: ? Last res. parish: Århus Last res. county: Århus Last residence: Aarhus Destination country: USA Destination city: New York City Destination state: New York State Name of ship: Indirekte IDcode: I9192M0214
Name: Møller, Louis Occupation: Barn Age: 03 Destination: N.Y. Contract no.: 496200 Registration date: 6/29/1891 Birth place: ? Birth place: ? Last res. parish: Århus Last res. county: Århus Last residence: Aarhus Destination country: USA Destination city: New York City Destination state: New York State Name of ship: Indirekte IDcode: I9192M0215
Name: Møller, Olga Occupation: Barn Age: 00 1/2 Destination: N.Y. Contract no.: 496200 Registration date: 6/29/1891 Birth place: ? Birth place: ? Last res. parish: Århus Last res. county: Århus Last residence: Aarhus Destination country: USA Destination city: New York City Destination state: New York State Name of ship: Indirekte IDcode: I9192M0216
Louis and Olga were children born Denmark or possibly Holsteen? I was not able to find any information other than this. If anyone is willing or able to help, I am most thankful.
This Danish side is the one that married my Norwegian side when they arrived in Bellingham, Washington, USA
Thank you-
Carl |

Is the Danish language more similar to Norwegian than any other language?

One trick I did learn that you all may already know is that google translate sometimes works better set for Norwegian to English Instead of Danish to English when I am trying to translate work occupations or house position in the Danish archives!

Thank you-
This one and the emigration manifest were the only evidence I was able to find in any sources at all-
An interesting spelling of "Allexander" I wonder if it is a miss spelling or the way it originally was spelled-
I searched both ways and came up empty-
Thank you Einar-

With the new info I was able to look in the database and find Ella's grandparents on her mothers side 1750's era-
Thank you so much Einar!
That was the bridge I was missing to find more of the Danish side-
I am still trying to find info for Holsteen and Allexander Victor Moller on his fathers side. I found some things in "familysearch.org including his parents marriage and his mothers christening https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FKHX-76L https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XYZ3-41M I am not a subscriber to the familysearch website but sometimes I can get info that leads to the census database.
Thank you again Einar for your help yesterday-
