I highly recommend

It was my wish to pass on the family history as I remember it to my children and grandchildren. I hoped to learn more going generations back and I had the great fortune to work together on my family lineage and are stunned by the many detailed results. They really helped me by organizing and creating presentable family charts.

It is pretty amazing what was uncovered - it is really superb work that deserves all of my best recommendations.

Helle Birnbaum

I was curious to learn about my family surname, where it came from and with the assistance of Find Danish People they succeeded in finding a lot of detailed information  of my ancestry, that I had no knowledge about. It is pretty amazing what was uncovered and even in quite a limited time. It is really superb work that deserves all of my best recommendations.

They both survived
the Great War
despite being wounded

The Danish 19-year old Peter Christian
(standing to the left) was enlisted
in the German army in 1915.

During one of the major battles in France he was in 1918 shot and wounded when a stricking bullet penetrated his arm twice.


His best friend (standing to the right)
also survived and ended up marrying his younger sister after the war.

A FAMILY STORY

He jumped ship and
swam to a new life
in San Francisco

As a very young man Jacob sailed
on one of his family's sailing ships
and when anchored in San Francisco Bay
he literally jumped overboard and begana brand-new life in California.


The shipping industry was changing
around the 18-century and his father
failed to recognize the competition from steamships and wrecked the family fortune..
