Research Notes
Care needs to be taken as the names Jensen & Andersen are two of the most common Danish surnames. There is some indication that patronymic surnames see Danish Naming Conventions are being applied here. The elder children are 'Andersen' as they are 'Anders (Jensen) son'. The younger children are 'Jensen' as the patronymic surnames became frozen.
