These two records for the Romer family were from Digitalarkivet. I would love to have a translation for these.

The parish is Brønderslev, Hjørring. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-8944-K97B-7?i=47&cc=2078555&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQG88-W7NV The record shows they are twins born 23 May. Both were christened at home on May 27th, Frederik died before being christened in the church and Johan was christened 16 October. Father, Johan Aolph (Adolph?) Rømer and wife, Elisabeth Deichmann. Here is the family in the 1860 Census.

I posted the death record for Fredrick. I think someone told me that one of these images has the notation that they took the unbaptized child and went to America. I am not sure which image was supposed to say this.

The child not christened in the church died, the brother was christened. The going out records might show the couple leaving. This US document, death certificate, might interest you. Parents are Adolph Romer and Lizzette Diekman.

The father and son have the same name so the birth year for the father (FamilySearch) is not accurate. The birth for Johan the father should be about 1819 according to the census record.

1880 Census in Bay City for John and Eliza with son William, seems to fit very well.

Yes, this is his death record. Although, his wife was listed as widowed on more than one occasion before he died. She was apparently a Grass Widow.

I have been told that the twin that dies was christened at home and I have been told that he was not christened. Someone checked the going out records for me and said that they could not find a record of them leaving. I thought that they snuck our of Prussia so that John would not have to be part of the Prussian Guard. I do not know why they left Denmark. When they first appear in the 1870 Bay City, MI Census in Michigan, they are sharing a residence with his wife's sister's family. (Andrew Anderson, his wife Dora, and their 11yo son, Lewis, that was born in Canada.) This makes me wonder if both families came through Canada, although I have found no immigration records.

I think we used a different source when we determined that John Srs. birthdate might be May 1820.

Thanks, Shari! This family is also on the Michigan State Census. The interesting thing is that the wife is listed as a widow, before her husband dies, and more than once. I think that she was a grass widow. Dear Old John shows up again. For years, I searched for his death records when he died the "first" time. This was years ago before we had so many indexed records. You can imagine how surprised I was when I found him alive again, and again.
