Dear Jan,
You didn't give me any troubles at all. I enjoyed it a
lot. I got to learn a lot about a number interesting
things about olden Denmark, that I'd otherwise never
have had never had - and became fascinated by
Anna Koch Schiøler and her epic historical novel:
"Kaaregaarden"
Now I'm going to hunt up the book, have someone
send it to me, so I can and read it! I owe you a big
thank you for that!

You did not write Visbeck - that was someone else's
idea, and "Visbæk" came from the immigration records!

With the information you now have come up with, I'm
sure someone will find more!

Cai,
on a cool, but sunny Aussie winter morn!

Jan,
I've been trying to find a **"Visbæk"** and did find one,
but it is a fictional place in a big Danish period novel,
"Kaaregaarden"
by Anna Koch Schiøler (1867-1963) born 9 April 1867
in Vejstrup, Vejle Amt (county)
The novel was written in 1925 and tells about life in a group
of Danish faming communities in the mid 1800!
There several place/community names in this fivtional story
such as Visbæk, Skællinge, Røbæk, Egebjerg and so on.

cheers from

Cai!!
Thank you!! That's my man!! Now, if I could just find out where he lived, or
was born or something!! All I have is Viborg, and that's from a newspaper
article. Even his Naturalization papers just say Denmark!!! I sure wish all
these folks would have thought that someone would be looking for them 100
years AFTER they tossed everything!
Jan
