My search for Johan RIIS (or RIHS) continues!
So last time, I decided to work up a client report. Instead, I ended up creating a document study and then an accompanying work plan. Here is that plan, from page 4 of my report:
I had already done 1-5 so, but I ended up starting with #6, and did not find what I was expecting.
I figured, since Gertrude was from Knudsker and her son Didrich was born in Nylarsker that she would have moved to Nylarsker at some point – I know, brilliant. 🙂 So, I started looking for a move-in record for her in Nylarsker before Mar 1816, when Didrich was born.
If she lived there more than 9 months prior to his birth, then she would have gotten pregnant there. If she moved in while pregnant, then she would have conceived Didrich at her previous parish…and that’s where Johan would have been too.

Gertrude moved from Copenhagen!!! (København)
Now is a time for a pretty great aside.
Last Saturday I went to the Family History Library to take some more Danish research classes. I guess I didn’t read the course descriptions very well because when I got there I found out that they didn’t really apply to me. The first was Southern Denmark research (which got transferred back and forth with Germany, so their records are a bit different), then Big City Research, and finally, Copenhagen research. Since I didn’t really have any Big City or Copenhagen ancestors, I was just going to leave and work in the library, but decided to stay and see if I could learn anything – I did!
And now I can use it!
So, next I need to track Gertrude to Copenhagen, figure out what parish she was living in and see if Johan is nearby.

A few months ago, on one of my trips to the Family History Library in Salt Lake I discovered the Plain City Ward Records from 1859-1948 (US/CAN Film #26388), which included a record of members. Since the Lund’s had settled there this was a goldmine!
Now that I’m turning my attention to the Taylor line, I’m starting at the end. Remember, in genealogy we start with the most recent information and work our way back. That means starting with the Victor Erastus Lund and Edith Pearl Taylor family.
I did find a great resource online, the Taylor Family Association which has done a lot of research on this line of Taylors. However, I already found a few errors when reviewing their database, which I already submitted to the moderator. Basically, this means that I will need to go through all the information I found there and verify it with some kind of source. At least it gives me a general direction to work in.
For now, let’s take a look at these LDS Church Records for the Victor Lund family, from the late 1930’s.
