The names of some of the other children: Lars Willadsen ; Anders Jessen ; Jeppe Poulsen; Marie; Maren Beyer; Hans Schach; Petra; Anke Marie; Peder Andersen; Jes Andersen; Mette Cathrine; Bothilde; Beyer; Caroline (Karoline); and Birthe. Not all came to the US but we know some did. All family members who could have helped put this together are gone. What we remember doesn't help much. Looking for any help I can get.
