Temaet for i år er Resilience som teamet har valgt, og jeg har valgt undertemaet Blomster, træer og forfædre, så lad os se, hvad der falder mig ind til det tema.
A - Z
Every day at noon (except Sundays) a new A-Z post goes live - or no post today.
The theme for this year is Resilience as given by the team, with my subtitle Flowers, Trees and Ancestors.
Hans og hans efterkommere ~ Hans and his Descendants
I 1740erne boede der en mand ved navn Hans i Rønnede på Sydsjælland. Hans fik i 1741 eller deromkring en søn, som blev kaldt Jens. Denne Jens fik som voksen tilnavnet Tamboer, der betyder trommeslager, enten i hæren eller som byens trommeslager. I 1764 giftede Jens Hansen Tamboer sig med Mætte Larsdatter, der også kom fra Rønnede. Hun blev født i 1742 - som navnet siger - datter af en mand ved navn Lars Mikkelsen.
Det er usandsynligt at Mette og Jens ikke fik nogen børn de første 15 år efter deres bryllup, men jeg har kun fundet tre. Tvillingerne Dorthe og Johanne fra 1779, Johanne døde senere samme år, og i 1784 kom lillebror Hans til.
I folketællingen 1801 er Jens Hansen Tamboer død og Mætte gift med Christen Andersen. Hans og Dorthe er begge ude og tjene.
Nogle år tidligere, i 1729 for at være helt nøjagtig, blev Envold Nielsen døbt i Tjæreby Kirke. Det skete den 4. søndag i advent. Hans far hed Niels Mortensen.
Envold giftede sig i 1749 med Gertrud Larsdatter, og de fik en datter, der døde bare fem dage gammel, nytårsmorgen 1750
Knap fire måneder senere, langfredag, døde Envolds unge hustru Gertrud bare 23 år gammel.
4 år senere blev han trolovet med Kirsten Hartvigsdatter, og allerede inden deres bryllup 24. november 1754, blev deres første barn, sønnen Niels født. De må have fået flere børn, for i folketællingen 1787 bor Envold og Kirsten sammen med deres dattersøn.

In the 1740s, a man named Hans lived in Rønnede in South Zealand. In 1741 or thereabouts, Hans had a son called Jens. As an adult, this Jens was nicknamed Tamboer, which means drummer, either in the army or as the town drummer. In 1764 Jens Hansen Tamboer married Mætte Larsdatter, who also came from Rønnede. She was born in 1742 - as the name says as the daughter of a man named Lars Mikkelsen.
It is unlikely that Mette and Jens had no children for the first 15 years of their marriage, but I have only found heir last three: The twins Dorthe and Johanne born 1779, Johanne died later that year, and in 1784 little brother Hans was born.
In the 1801 census Jens Hansen Tamboer is dead and Mætte married to Christen Andersen. Hans and Dorthe are both domestic workers in other households.
Some years earlier, in 1729, to be exact, Envold Nielsen was baptised in Tjæreby Church. It happened on the 4th Sunday in Advent. His father's name was Niels Mortensen.
Envold married Gertrud Larsdatter in 1749, and they had a daughter who died just five days old on New Year's morning 1750
Barely four months later, on Good Friday, Envold's young wife Gertrud died aged just 23.
4 years later he was betrothed to Kirsten Hartvigsdatter, and even before their wedding on 24 November 1754, their first child, the son Niels was born. They must have had more children, because in the 1787 census Envold and Kirsten are living with their grandson.

Kort .... Tjæreby var lige udenfor området, så kortet måtte udvides lidt.
Map ... Tjæreby was just outside the map, I had to expand it just a bit.
Not easy lives and often completed far too soon.
SvarSletLive in those days were often short, hard, and dirty.
SletYour research is inspiring.
SvarSletThank you.
SletYour research seems so daunting to me, I could never get through all that. My own mother was born before her parents married too.
SvarSletI was too.
SletWell I was not, but like some of my ancestors, it was a very short pregnancy ;)
