Hello there 

I am looking for any information relating to the brother, Mother, and daughter of Sven Christian Petersen Lind.

Here is what I know about Sven:
Sven was born in Denmark, August 4th, 1903 - his parents were Christine Juliane Petersen (b. June 1st, 1881) and Magnus Figensen Lind (b. March 10th, 1873). Sven also had a brother who was born February 1st, 1905 in Denmark - I do not know any more about him, unfortunately. Sven immigrated to the USA in November 1922, and initially it seems settled in San Francisco. He married Ariel Virgina Taft (marriage date unknown). Sven became known in America as Perry Christian Lind. He and Arial had two children: a boy named Perry Taft Lind on January 21, 1936 in San Francisco (died June 20, 2021 in Gig Harbour, Pierce, Washington) and a girl  who was born about 1942. Their father Sven (Perry) died in Washington October 31, 1960 and his wife Arial died in 1986.

Sven's (Perry) mother Christine Juliane Lind divosed her husband Magnus and later remarried Niels Peder Sorensen Hammer on November 5, 1927. In the years following it seems he died. On May 28, 1937 she left Denmark and joined her son Sven (Perry) in San Francisco. I have no information when or where she died.

Any information about Sven's (Perry) mother, brother or daughter would be fantastic.

Warmest regards,

The factory was located in the village of Randbøldal and had housing for its workers. To pinpoint the exact location of your GG Grandfather is a mission impossible I fear. You would have to search in the the archives of the factory itself to find the exact spot (and the house probably won't exist anymore today).
On Google maps you can find the location of the factory (Det Hvide Palæ).

Thank you Zefiro very awesome. So reading about Det Hvide Palæ - my G G greatfather was a weaver who produced textile for the manufacture of clothing? Am I correct thinking that? And may have left when the factory sold (he shifted to Horsens).

Hi there,

I have come across an 1870 census record for my G G Grandfather Jens Prebensen. I am familar with the village he lived: Randbøl Sogn (Randbøl) in Denmark.

I was wondering if anyone could help provide me with his residential address: Engelsholm Fabrik Arbeids Bolig

Any help would be wonderful,

Warmest regards,

Ashley

Warm greetings,

I am interested in a basic understanding of immigration to San Francisco as my great aunt immigrated from New Zealand to San Francisco in 1883 with her husband and daughter. Information about them can be found here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/100905780/ciliane_marie-beck

My first question is: Would they have arrived directly at the port of San Francisco? (not at New York?)

My second quest is: They lived at 164 Clara Street, San Francisco - Is there a high school (in 1883) the daughter Anna most likely attended?

Thank you for your help and expertise,

My kindest regards,

Ashley
