- BIOGRAPHY:
1. Copy of original letter in Danish in my possession. I was able to have the FHL Danish experts in SLC roughly translate the letter. Unfortunately the text is insignificant but the historical time frame of the letter is memorable. It starts off with: "To my dear sister Else Marie Andersdatter on her 70th birthday, 24 Apr 1865" and is signed "Your loving sister, Ane Kjerstine Andersdatter, Røjkjær." The text is a poem not easily translatable with each stanza giving an example of a witness to "God's goodness" i.e. "Flowers and birds witness to God's goodness." The last paragraph after the poem becomes personal with the comment: "Dear Sister, by friend you are as gold in light and need let us strive in live to remember to follow til our deaths ... shout always my good God."
