I am grateful for family. Mostly my ancestors that came to USA from Denmark.

For over 62+ years we have been searching for information on my Great Grandmothers life in Denmark in the 1870's. When she came to America in 1883, the people running Ellis Island missnamed her and would not correct it. So for all these years since 1883 in USA she was called by her childhood nickname.
I just happened on a Danish Church record of her grandfather that was translated into German and I could read that. I can not read Danish. So after adding her information into MyHeritage it started a snowball rolling and in 6 weeks I have added 200 family members, about 30 are still alive.
With this information I was able to go to her grave site and put headstones on both her and my Great grandpa. They both died in 1951 and 1949 but never had markers.

Danish
å ø æ ykke and many other things make it hard to read Danish. The word Hagge is pronounced Huggah meaning Happiness or Joyful.
