I don't mean to disappoint you guys with the same surname Jørgensen,
but Jørgensen just mean "son of Jørgen", and it's very common, maybe like
the american Williams.
Just for a single parish, there could be many with that name, so the chance
that it's from the same family is almost a zero, or maybe two or three
percent.
With the best Regards,
M. Fritzböger,
Elsinore, Denmark.
