Notes:

Cai Mygind's book says Caspara was the first child of Helene
Pedersdatter and Lars Larsen Djernis. Witnesses at her baptism
were Svend Djernes's wife from Lund, farmers Jens Djernes from
Rotb²l, Kasper Oddersb²l and Kold Djernes from Djernes and
schoolmaster Pedersen. She was born at Madsb²l. She was sent
from home to make a living while still young, and when she was
married at age 18 in Lild Church she was a maid with uncle
Christen Jensen Vabesgêard in Myrupgêard. Her husband was Lars
Christian Nielsen, known as Lars Dommerby, the name of his
mother's second husband. The family farmed in Hjardemêal Klit,
but husband Lars died in1899. Caspara, known as Sara, was a
widow for 30 years and was known as Aunt Sara to the whole
family. She and Lars had six children, three of whom emigrated
to the United States.
Caspara's marriage record in the Lild Parish Register
gives her age as 22. In addition, it states she was vaccinated
August 14, 1851at Willemoes. It refers to her as the daughter
of Helene Pedersdatter of Kjaeret, and makes no mention of
father Lars Larsen Djernes.

Caspara married on 17 Oct 1868 in Lild, Vester Han, Thisted, Denmark. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
