I am trying to figure out what happened to Jens Rønde Markus Rasmussen who appears in Family Tree at LTDD-77S. There is a child named Anna Dorthea Rasmussen L2LS-XWT who was born in 1892, and her parents were unmarried, but the parish listed her father as Jens Rønde Markus Rasmussen. The baptism record for Anna Dorthea states that Jens Rønde Markus Rasmussen was living in Følle. This actually makes really good sense since when I look up Følle on google maps, it is right next door Ugelbølle, which is where he was born and is next door to Rønde, which I believe is probably the place his family was actually living when he was baptized and is where he got his name.

So, I can see on Google maps that all these places are real places, but when I I try to look for Jens on the Dansk Demografisk Database, I cannot find any of these locations in the drop down menu for the parishes.

Can someone tell me which parish I would enter on DDD in order to find anyone living in Følle.

Next issue, the only reason I'm researching Jens in the first place is because I work for a county historical society in Idaho, and we have a Jens Rasmussen buried in our cemetery. His death records state that he was born 16 October 1867 in Arhus. Jens Rønde Markus Rasmussen fits that description perfectly, which is why I'm trying to figure out what became of him. Did he move to the United States? The one conflict I might see is that on the 1910 and 1920 census, my American Jens claimed that he immigrated in 1890, but obviously if the Danish Jens was fathering a child born in 1892, he couldn't have immigrated in 1890. However, I have seen many times that the immigration date is incorrect on the census records, so I don't feel like that is a huge problem, but it is something to keep in mind.

Another thing that is helpful, the American Jens's death record states that his father is Robert Rasmussen. The Danish Jens's father is Rasmus Markussen—and I do have some Rasmussens in America who changed their names to Robertson, so even though it isn't a direct translation, apparently Rasmus does get changed to Robert in America at times.

I also so a presumption on Ancestry that someone thinks the Danish Jens joined the military. It would be helpful if someone could teach me how to verify military service in Denmark.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me figure this out. These are not my relatives, I am researching them on behalf of our historical society which is trying to better identify some of our cemetery burials.

(I should also add that I have attached images of the records I have on him to memories on his Family Tree profile at L2NW-K6T and LTDD-77S.)
