    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. Sondbjerg Church Records do not begin until 1705. The same church books record the Odby Parish.

      2. Also known as Jens Knudsen Riis.

      3. E-mail dated 25 Apr 2013 from Jens at jobyskov@esenet.dk: I am a descendant of Anne Knudsdatter's brother Jens Knudsen Riis. This brother took over the farm Helleriis in Søndbjerg after his father Knud Jensen, when he became old. There is a letter (faestebrev) for that 18 October 1703 signed by regiment secretary Ulsøe from Dronninglund. Faestebrev is that you live on the farm and take care of it, but you don't own it, but pay tax to the owner.
      E-mail dated 24 Aug 2013 from Jens at jobyskov@esenet.dk: Here is a little more about what I can tell you. I know, that Jens Knudsen Riis bought his farm Helleris for himself. Cause in 1724 he took a loan in the farm on 225 rigsdaler. The person Jørgen Sørensen on Mors gave the loan with security in the farm. Few years later this person overtook the farm. So Jens Knudsen moved. In 1734 his brother-in-law Jens Jensen Thagaard died. In the will (skifte), Jens Knudsen Riis was mentioned as a farmer in Resen town. So I know, he was alive in 1734. Furthermore his wife Kirsten Jensdatter died in 1767, 78 years old also in Resen.
