I'm looking for the birthplace of my 5G grandfather, Thomas Thomsen Lund born abt 1727 (I have a date of 27 apr 1727). His parents were Thomas Thomsen Lund and Apelone Pedersdatter Møller.

Thomas (the one I'm looking for) married Birgitte Sophie Friis on 5 Jun 1761 in Gammelstrup, Viborg. He owned several estates including Grinderslevkloster. His will is very long and looks like it survived a flood or two. (Very unreadable--at least the microfilm is). He died 1 Oct 1777 in Øster Assels, Thisted. I have found the marriage and death in the AO.

death: Øster Assels, Morsø Sønder, Thisted 1644-1807 opslag 369
marriage Gammelstrup, Viborg 1688-1813 opslag 199

The sibling I have for Thomas are:
Dorthea (no dates)
Peder Lund (20 Dec 1724-14 dec 1762)
Ellen Marie (?-~1750)
Maren (1721-30 apr 1752)
Dorthea Marie (5 oct 1725-?)
Ellen (?-1750) May be same person as the other Ellen, or an aunt
Kirsten (?-1752)
Benedick (but female) (no dates) but seems to have ended up in the West Indies
Anne Catherine (?-18 aug 1738)

My initial source of information was a genealogy table my great-aunt sent me about 20 years ago. When I've been able to find the people, it's been pretty accurate. I'm now to this generation in my hunt.

Thanks,

Oh, and anything on his parents would be very useful too.

Thomas Thomsen Lund and Apelone Pedersdatter owned the estate Slumstrup in the parish of Sædding from about 1718 and lived there until they died.

The son Thomas Thomsen Lund was born there 1728 (bapt. 04 apr 1728).
Arkivalier online: Ringkøbing, Bølling, Bølling - Sædding, 1703-1754, "opslag" 153

He had 5 siblings born in Sædding: Ellen Marie 1719, Maren 1721, Peder 1724, Dorthe Marie 1725, and Anna Cathrine 1730.

And with that piece of information (Slumstrup) I am already finding a whole bunch of new information on this family.

Wonderful,

Thanks,'

I've since picked up the trail of Thomas Thomsen Lund who was married to Apelone Pedersdatter Møller as being from Højris. Does anyone know which Højris that might be? (On first guess, I'd say Ringkøbing, but there is also one in Thisted). His father (yet another Thomas Thomasen LUND) was from Ryborg or Ryborg which is in Aalborg--and there's a Højris there too.

Oh, no. It's Ryberg (Rydberg) in Velling Parish, Ringkøbing county where they their daugther was living and where they both died.

I am now convinced this website is a keeper. I've bookmarked it and am now starting to seriously explore it. [hammerum-herred.dk]

With the name Slumstrup, I've been able to find my Lunds in Brejl's site. And finally straighten out which Ellen Lund is which and who married whom.

THANKS!!!!!!
