My grea...I have visited this beautiful old church. <br />My great grandfather was baptized in this church. <br />His birth home is in Gunderup area.<br />He left Denmark in 1867 for America with his father and brothers. <br />After working and learning English in 1870 they went from Chicago farm area by train then stage coach to a county in Kansas named Butler. Here they made home on farms.<br />My great grand father was the son of Paul Andersen was named Peder Poulsen which was the Danish custom to take the father first name and add sen.<br />Peder was fortunate to buy land, farms for his sons, built the town Court House as a Commissioner and have an Oil Boom on a large section of pasture land August 1917. He became the John D. Rockefeller of Kansas but never lived like a wealthy man. That was not his manner. <br />I wish I had now this brilliant hard working Dane. I loveDenmark, have a very dear friend who lives in Hadeslev. We hope to be over as soon as it is safe to travel as I have 4th cousin in the Aalborg area.<br />Kate Nichtern<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109227370754712656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21949002.post-77665344830112696262021-04-25T18:13:15.002-07:002021-04-25T18:13:15.002-07:00I have visited this beautiful old church.
