Notes

  • Cai Mygind's book says Caspara was the first child of Helene Pedersdatter and Lars Larsen Djernis. Witnesses at her baptism were Svend Djernes's wife from Lund, farmers Jens Djernes from Rotb²l, Kasper Oddersb²l and Kold Djernes from Djernes and schoolmaster Pedersen. She was born at Madsb²l. She was sent from home to make a living while still young, and when she was married at age 18 in Lild Church she was a maid with uncle Christen Jensen Vabesgêard in Myrupgêard. Her husband was Lars Christian Nielsen, known as Lars Dommerby, the name of his mother's second husband. The family farmed in Hjardemêal Klit, but husband Lars died in1899. Caspara, known as Sara, was a widow for 30 years and was known as Aunt Sara to the whole family. She and Lars had six children, three of whom emigrated to the United States. Caspara's marriage record in the Lild Parish Register gives her age as 22. In addition, it states she was vaccinated August 14, 1851at Willemoes. It refers to her as the daughter of Helene Pedersdatter of Kjaeret, and makes no mention of father Lars Larsen Djernes.
