Moving forward in time, let’s check in on the Mathias Lund family in 1910.
Mathias and Pauline are still in Plain City and have 5 of their 10 children living with them. Their oldest four must have married and moved on (?) and their other son died young. I did find his name in newFamilySearch but need to find sources to support it. I may need to make a trip to the Family History Library…I’ll post more details when I find them.

Transcription/Translation: I was able to translate most of this on my own (with the help of
GoogleTranslate). I did get some additional help and insights from the
Family Search Forum for Denmark. I’ve included the Danish and English versions below:

vaccinated by Grove on 11 September
JensenJN, a member of the forum, gave me some additional insights into some of the information.
Re: Witnesses Names — Kofod is a name uniquely originating at Bornholm, and it was fiercely defended by the family. It did not allow anyone outside the family to take it.
There were different spellings of the name: Kofod, Koefod, Kofoed, and Koefoed.
I went back and asked for some clarification about the vaccinations. I wondered what it was for and who “Grove” may have been – a person or maybe organization? He responded:
The short answer is that the vaccination was against smallpox. Denmark had had some epidemics and it became mandatory to be vaccinated against it. The Danish word for “smallpox” is “Kopper”. You will in some marriage entries find a remark like “har haft de naturlige kopper” (“has had the natural smallpox”). At times it just abbreviated to “Nat. Kopper.” Such people were exempt from the vaccination.
TO INVESTIGATE: This record was really interesting and gave me lots of new information. It also brought up questions about Mathias’ last name. At birth he was Funch, when he immigrated he was Funk, and in all US records he’s Lund. Interestingly, in the US 1880 Census he is Mathias C Lund but his father is listed (on another page) as Dedrick Funk. All his siblings (in the US) took the name as well. Why the name change? When? Where did the name Lund come from?

I continue my research into the Mathias Lund Family. Here is his first U.S. Census record. He is now married and living in Plain City, Weber Co., Utah with his wife Pauline and young daughter Emma.

Amanuensis Monday: Amanuensis Monday is a popular ongoing series created by John Newmark at Transylvanian Dutch…and I’m joining the bandwagon! Each Monday, I’ll post a new transcription of a historical document I’ve found.

I’ve gone ahead and transcribed all the information and added it to my database. You can see the transcription below. I’ve italicized what was written/typed on the certificate.
