Born 3 March 1893, in Torslev, Øster Han,Hjørring, Denmark, to Carl Christian Jørgensen and Gjertrud Marie Jacobsdatter [Jørgensen]. Kamma died (Cancer) on 27 April 1977, aged 84, in Redwood City, CA, USA.

Note: Kamma is a blend of Karen and Margrethe (her grandmother s name). It means lovable. According to the parish register of Oster Svenstrup 1893 she was born in Sonderskovsgaard (field, often used for places outside a town/village), Oster Han Herred. --- The reason it was so difficult to find her was not because of the parish, but her name. Until March 3 1911 she was called Marie Jørgensen because her parents were members of a Free-mission church dominating the region. Nevertheless every child in Denmark, irrespective religous community must be registered in the Danish National Church, even today. And so Kamma was dedicated as Marie in 1893 by her parents: Carl Christian Jorgensen, Carpenter, and wife Gjertrud Marie Jacobsen, 42 years old. In 1911, March 3, she was christened Kamma Marie Jørgensen at the Budolfi Church in Aalborg
