      Important Events:
      Education: Fjordsgades Elementary and Highschool in Aarhus Denmark gradu a ted in 1923. In June 1953 I attended Leadership week at Brigham Young U ni versity took classes in Genealogy, Leadership and Puppetry also attend e d lectures given by Cleon Scousen on “The first 2000 years” later publi sh ed by him. A wonderful experience. Have attended several Leadership we ek s here in Ogden taken a number of different classes.

      Employment: After graduating from Highschool I worked in a “Kiosk” in Aa r hus. A place where magazines, newspapers, stamps and telegrams are sol d . Then I clerked in a shoestore owned by Anthon Höegh and located in St ud sgade. Next I worked in the office of a shoe manufacturer and wholesal e r by the name of Timm, located on Kystvejen also in Aarhus. After comi n g to Salt Lake City I did housework for a year and a half in the hom e o f Frederick U. Leonard. Took care of a 17 room house, cooked three me al s a day for 8 people and took care of two children in the family. Thei r h ome was at 941 East 5th South, Salt Lake City. After leaving this jo b I c lerked at ZCMI for awhile till I got married.

      Church Activities: As a teenager I was secretary in Sundayschool and ass i stant organist in Aarhus Branch, Denmark. In 1943 I started working a s ch oral director in Primary in Highland Ward, Mr. Ogden Stake. Later wa s mad e counselor in the 33rd Ward Primary, Mt. Ogden Stake. Worked toget her wi th Mabel Burgenar, President, Lois Glenn, Counselor, Dolores Hunte r, Secr etary. In Dec. 1949 I was set apart as President of this same Pri mary. Fo r counselors I had Lois Glenn and Ada Wilbur with Dolores Hunte r as Secre tary. In May 1950 I was called to be Stake Primary President o f the Moun t Ogden Stake, which position I held until the stake was divid ed in 1953 , at which time I was set apart as President of the East Ogde n Stake Prim ary. This position I help until released because of ill heal th in Oct. 19 55. Since then I was Visiting teacher Topic teacher for on e year and Sund ayschool teacher for a teenage group of boys and girls fo r three years i n the 43rd Ward, East Ogden Stake.

      In 1952 I started to do genealogical research on my own genealogy. The n i n 1966 I passed the accreditation test for the Genealogical Society o f th e Church and started to do Danish research for other people. I am st ill a n accredited researcher here in 1980 and still do research for patr ons. I t has been most interesting and rewarding to help others find thei r ances tors and get their ordinance work done, especially, when you se e how grat eful they are for the work I have done, so they can have a rec ord of thei r ancestors. I have taught genealogical classes off and on du ring these m any years and have just started another last Sunday Oct. 19 , 1980, durin g Sundayschool hour. We are now meeting for all Sunday meet ings from 9 a m till 12 noon. A program started throughout the Church thi s year. This s ummer I was asked to set up a booth about Denmark, Genealo gy and family m emorabilia at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City for the f irst “World Conf erence on Records” Aug. 12-15, 1980. It was a lot of wor k but members o f my family helped as did people from the East Ogden Stak e. It was a Stak e sponsored project. Thousands of people stopped by to s ee my display an d ask questions about Danish research and Denmark and it s people and cust oms. It was a wonderful experience. Details about the C onference are in m y Journal.
