Biography

Peter Norkjær was born Peter Norkjær Jørgensen on 23 Dec 1880 in Haslund Sogn, Galten, Randers Amt, Danmark, son of Isak Jørgensen and Theodora Klitgaard.

Peter (29) married Emma Louise Preisler (29) (1880 - 1916) on 22 Apr 1910 in Sankt Markus Sogn, Sokkelund, København Amt, Danmark. However, Emma Louise died young, just six years into their marriage. They had no children.
