We are the chosen. In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again. To tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story. So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family; you would be proud of us.". How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who I am, and why I do the things I do.

Johanne Marie Christiansdatter
Familiehistorien fortalte, at Johanne var et velhavende møllerpars eneste datter, og da hun blev gravid uden for ægteskab med en af tvivlsom karakter tog det hård på begge forældre. I følge historien begik begge selvmord grundet skammen. Den ene hængte sig i mølle, mens den anden druknede sig i mølledammen. Spændende, men ikke helt sandfærdig.

Peter Petersen
Peter og hans kone Birgitte Marie var den sidste familie, som boede i skipperhuset i Rinkenæs. Efter deres død overtog datteren Cæcilie Marie Catrine huset, men uden at flytte ind. Da Cæcilie døde blev huset solgt til Arkitekt M.A.A. Hans Munk Hansen, der efterfølgende fik huset fredet.

Hans Jacob Bengalen
Hans Jacob Bengalen kom til Danmark før år 1793. Desværre er der ikke megen historisk dokumentation omkring hans liv. Ligger du inde med viden og nogle historier omkring Hans Jacob, så vil vi meget gerne høre fra dig. Ligeledes vil billeder af hans døtre være meget værdifulde for os.
The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that the fathers fought and some died to make and keep us a nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. It is of equal pride and love that our mothers struggled to give us birth, without them we could not exist, and so we love each one, as far back as we can reach. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are they and they are the sum of who we are. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take my place in the long line of family storytellers. That is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and restore the memory or greet those who we had never known before.

Mange af vores aner har vi ikke kunnet finde et billede på. I familiens arkiver findes mange billeder, men desværre mangler navnene på de mange ansigter.
Ligge du inde med et portræt eller anden godt billede af en af vores aner, så vil vi være meget taknemmelig, hvis du ville kontakte os.
