Jens Nielsen

Conscription register/Lægdsrulle, 1826
He is no 18/15, born 8 Jun 1800 at the farm Moesgaard in Assing Parish, Denmark
He is still living at Moesgaard
25 years young
Interesting is that his height is mentioned. He was then 62½ "tommer" in Danish which is 62,5 inches or 158,75 cm.
The note to the right tells us that he is suffering from "Blodårebrok" in Danish or Varicocele which is "A varicocele (VAR-ih-koe-seel) is an enlargement of the veins within the loose bag of skin that holds your testicles (scrotum). A varicocele is similar to a varicose vein you might see in your leg.
Varicoceles are a common cause of low sperm production and decreased sperm quality, which can cause infertility. However, not all varicoceles affect sperm production. Varicoceles can also cause testicles to fail to develop normally or shrink.
Most varicoceles develop over time. Fortunately, most varicoceles are easy to diagnose and many don't need treatment. If a varicocele causes symptoms, it often can be repaired surgically."

Well, obviously this didn´t stop him from being the father of at least 12 children...
