Death and burial record of Iver Nielsen.png

There is a better copy of a duplicate record on Family Search. It is here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-8987-9CT6?i=344&cat=182365.

I am going to use it for the translation because it is much easier to read. I will also attach a screenshot of it in case the record is not available to you through the link I am providing.

It reads:

(Entry number) 4

(Death date) April 24

(Burial date) April 28

"Iver Nielsen a farmer in Kaaberstedt, deceased farmer Niels Svensen's and deceased Anna Nielsdatter's of Redebeck son, (he) was married with/to Johanne Lauritzdatter in Kaaberstedt, survived by 2 children, Niels and Lauritz, (the) same Man (ie. Iver Nielsen) was 69 years (old)."

I forgot to attach the image the second time:

Thanks @Norm Baker I really appreciate you always helping me with translating. Do you happen to know where I am likely to find the marriage record for Iver Nielsen and Johanne Lauritzdatter. Their first child, Lauritz, was born in 1764 in Kaaberstedt.

ID number for Iver Nielsen GZMS-4TQ

The death record indicates that Iver Nielsen and Johanne Lauritzdatter were married in Kaaberstedt. That would indicate that they were married in Aller parish. Unfortunately, the marriage records for Aller parish begin in 1763. I have looked through the 1763-1766 records and they are not there, so they must have been married before that. See here for the Aller parish marriage records: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=450156#450156,80714375.

I have found "Iver Nielsen and wife in Kaaberstedt" mentioned in the "confitenten register" on 27 February 1763. There is no proof that it is the correct Iver Nielsen and wife, but there is a good chance that it is the same couple. See here for that record (10th name down on February 27): https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=200890#200890,38042032.

I had never heard of "confitenten registers" before, but apparently people would write their names on a piece of paper and put it in a box so they could take part in the Lord's Supper. This article explains how it worked in German protestant churches, so it may have been different in Danish Lutheran churches, but this is all I could find. You will have to translate it to English but it may be interesting: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confitentenlade. If this is them, all it proves is that they were married before February 27 of 1763.

Thanks for the additional information with the confitenten register. I had found the marriage record for Aller parish that start in 1763, and was hopeful there were other records somewhere else, thanks for checking! I was hopeful to find some sort of date for Johanne. I by chance randomly found Iver's buriel record, that you helped me translate, by clicking through the images. Hopefully I can be as lucky with Johanne.

@Norm Baker

This is the only record for a Johanne that looked like it maybe could be her, would you mind translating it? It is entry 9 that I was looking at. Thanks

This is Johanne Jensdatter. She was born in 1735 in An________. Her father is Jens Christensen and mother is Anna Jørgensdatter. She was married to Iver Jensen for 40 years and had 3 sons. She died at the age of 66 years.

Dang! I couldn't find a fitting burial record, so I switched to marriage records to see maybe if she got married after Iver died. I found this one, but from the little I can read it doesn't seem to mention an Iwer Nielson, Do you mind double checking @Norm Baker

Actually, I think that the 21 February 1772 is your Johanne. The groom is Hans Christophersen who is a widower and the legitimate son of deceased Christopher Laursen (or Lausen) and Ingeborg Kieldsdatter of Fielstrup Anslet. He is marrying Johanne, a widowed wife in Kaabersted, the legitimate daughter of deceased farmer Lauritz Jensen and deceased Stina Jensdatter of the same place (ie. Kaabersted). She is the surviving widow of deceased Iver Nielsen of the same place (Kaabersted).

Thank you so much for translating that! That does sound like the correct Johanne! Yes! Thank you for always helping.

Norm Baker

You are very welcome!
