The Storm Family The Storm Family Peder Pedersen Storm Just Pedersen Storm Peder Justesen Storm Frederik Christian Valdemar Storm Frederik Peter Evald Hinnerup Storm This booklet is a biography of Peder Pedersen Storm and descendants. From the early 1970s to the mid 1990s my father Kai Madsen worked on the family tree of the Morell family and related branches. He compiled a number of booklets which were distributed to family members both in Denmark, Holland and in the US. This compendium is a translation of his work on the Storm family with additional comments and especially images. In general, pages consist of two sheets: a scan of my father's original text in Danish on one sheet and my translation on the next sheet. What I feel is missing in his work is the sources. Apart from frequently visits to national archives, Kai had great contacts to Preben Engsig-Karup, to Jay Larsen, Henning Kristensen and to Gerda Kristensen, who all contributed greatly. I wish to acknowledge Lise Larsen Pyles who has contributed with images scanned by husband Bill Pyles in San Antonio, Texas.

On the 19 Nov 1751, aged 29, he married the then 18 y.o. Maria Elisabeth Thygesdatter (free translation: Thyge's daughter) Knabe in Assens Kirke (Assens Church). Having been married for seven years, they now had their first child and after twenty years they had in all seven children as follows: Anna Elisabeth born 20 Aug 1758 Maren - 28 Nov 1761 (died 19 Dec 1768) Just Pedersen Storm - 02 May 1766 Pernille - 03 Dec 1769 Maren - 16 Feb 1773 Tyge Pedersen Storm - 09 Apr 1775 Charlotte Elisabeth - 15 Mar 1778 According to the church book Anna Elisabeth carried her younger sister Charlotte Elisabeth at the baptism ceremony in church. At the census 1 Feb 1787 the family lived in Damgade 6 (translation: 6 Pond Street) in Assens. Here, the father had his shoemaker workshop. Only the youngest two children still lived at home. The mother died on 4 October 1787 aged 55 years, while the father Peder Pedersen Storm died on 13 Mar 1796 aged 74 years. He was buried on 18 March. - 4 - Just Pedersen Storm was born on 2 May 1766 (pronounce his name Just as in Yoost). He was the son of shoemaker Peder Pedersen Storm and wife Maria Elisabeth Thygesdatter Knabe. Like his father, Just became shoemaker. On 12 Oct 1792 he was married to 28 years old Ane Jørgensdatter in Assens Church. On 1 July 1793 they had their first baby, a girl who was baptized Maria Elisabeth Justsdatter (Just's daughter). Two years later on 23 Aug 1795 Ane had a boy who was baptized Jørgen Justesen Storm. Three years went and then Ane on 27 July 1798 had twins (girls). On 16 Aug they were baptised Maren and Anne Margrethe. The girls however did not live till the end of the year. The year after Ane once again gave labour to twins, again girls. They were born on 14 Aug 1799 and baptized Dorthe Anne Margrethe and Edel Margrethe. Dorthe died on 18 Sept only one month old. Thus the family had lost 3 children within a year. According to the census of 1 February 1801 Just Pedersen Storm was a shoemaker and the family lived Korsgade 3 in Assens and that the family had 5 members; the parents and the children Marie Elisabeth, Jørgen and Edel Margrethe. Next year, on 29 September, Ane had a boy who was baptised Peder Justesen Storm. Both boys became shoemakers and travelled to Copenhagen where they settled down. The family possibly left Assens, which had many shoemakers. Where the family went is not known. - 5 - Peder Justesen Storm was born on 29 Sept 1802 and was baptised in the church in Assens the same year. He had his Confirmation on the 15th Sunday after Easter 1817 and started apprenticeship as a shoemaker. Having completed apprenticeship, Peder travelled to Copenhagen, where he settled down. On 13 October 1827 his hometown sent him his certificate for birth, baptism, confirmation and vaccination. This certificate shown in appendix 2 he needed for applying for citizenship as a shoemaker. He received the certificate on 19 January 1828 (also shown in appendix 2). Later the same year on 12 August he was filed in the "Copulation protocol" and paid 4 Rigsbanksdaler (Danish currency before the Kroners) and 36 skilling (kind of shilling) in order to get married in Trinitatis Church to 29 y.o. Bertha Christine Rasmussen, born in Copenhagen. They settled down in Myntergade matricle nbr 44. Here, on 20 May 1829 Bertha had a boy who was baptised Frederik Christian Valdemar Storm. Four years later Bertha had another boy, who was named Just Emilius Harald Storm. The family moved to Skindergade nbr 8 (ground floor) (matricle nbr 23) where Peder established his workshop next to the family's appartment (the building is protected as a class B building and was renovated in 1977). By 1 February 1840 the family had four members plus a maid Sophie Gephardt and the then 16 y.o. apprentice shoemaker Hans Christian Holm. The same year the family on 1 October Peder hired the 36 y.o shoemaker J.Strers. It is not known how long Strers worked for Peder. Five years later, on 1 Februray 1845, the family had no maid according to the census. Instead the family had two apprentices, 19 y.o. Lorentz Tønnesen and 18 y.o. Carl Johan Kroll. By 1850 Valdemar had become musician and Harald had started as apprentice chimney sweeper. Apart from this the family included 21 y.o. apprentice Anders Frederiksen from Sonnerup. According to records, Valdemar and Harald still lived with their parents on 1 February 1855 and Peder employed two apprentices, 17. y.o. Adolf Ludvig Hellested and 18 y.o. Ferdinand Jørgensen. By 1 February 1860 the children have all left home and there are no apprentices employed. This could be interpreted the way that Peder had an shoemaker employed in his workshop. The family still lived Skindergade no. 8 and here Peder died on 9 August 1872. On 12 August Copenhageners could read the following on page 2 in the Address Newspaper (a directory perhaps): - 6 - That our noble, hard working Husband and Father Shoemaker Peter Justesen Storm 70 y.o., On the Night between the 8th and 9th August passed away quietly after a few Days of Illness, is hereby announced to Family and Friends V. Storm Bertha Christine Storm Royal Orchestra Musician born Rasmussen H. Storm District Manager The exact day of the funeral to be announced Bertha died on 13 April 1873, 75 y.o. She was buried on Trinitatis Assistents Church Cemetery on 20 April 1873. - 7 - Frederik Christian Valdemar Storm was born at Myntergade (Mynter Street) matricle no. 44 on 20 May 1829 and was baptised in Trinitatis Church on 12 July 1829. He had his confirmation in the same church in October 1843. The family moved from Myntergade to Skindergade no. 8 (matricle no. 23), where his father set up his shoemaker workshop next to the family's apartment. Valdemar had a very musical talent. Having finished school he decided to become a musician and as such he was recorded at the census of 1850 while he was still living with his parents. At the military conscription on 20 March 1849 he got session no. 288, however he was found tiny and weak and was sent home in order to gain weight. Valdemar turned up for another conscription in 1852. Again he was sent home with the notification: flat chested with no visible sign of any chest illness. His height measured 168.5 centimeters (about 5 foot 6 inches). In 1853 he got no. 977 and was assigned for the military reserves, where he was to do service at the infantery in 1854. It seems however that he never did military duty. According to the census records of 1 February 1860 Valdemar didn't live at home any longer (with his parents). On 9 November 1865 Valdemar paid 4 Rbd (Rigsbanks Daler, probably similar to Dollars) to become registered in the Copulation Protocol (a register for weddings of some sort). The next day, on the 10 November 1865, Royal Orchestra Musician F.C.Valdemar Storm was married at Garnison Church (military church) to Ane Petrine Frederikke Hinnerup. She was born on 24 June 1834 as daughter of Royal Mint (Coin) Master and Assay Master Peter Reimer Hinnerup and wife Inger Helene Tømmerbye. Best man was P. Storm living at Skindergade no. 8 and P.R.Hinnerup living at Nyhavn no. 26. The couple settled down at Nyhavn no. 26, an apartment block owned by the Royal Coinage and located not far from the Royal Theatre where Valdemar was employed as a violinist.

  • Economy, Magic and the Politics of Religious Change in Pre-Modern
    1 Economy, magic and the politics of religious change in pre-modern Scandinavia Hugh Atkinson Department of Scandinavian Studies University College London Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD 28th May 2020 I, Hugh Atkinson, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that these sources have been acknowledged in the thesis. 2 Abstract This dissertation undertook to investigate the social and religious dynamic at play in processes of religious conversion within two cultures, the Sámi and the Scandinavian (Norse). More specifically, it examined some particular forces bearing upon this process, forces originating from within the cultures in question, working, it is argued, to dispute, disrupt and thereby counteract the pressures placed upon these indigenous communities by the missionary campaigns each was subjected to. The two spheres of dispute or ambivalence towards the abandonment of indigenous religion and the adoption of the religion of the colonial institution (the Church) which were examined were: economic activity perceived as unsustainable without the 'safety net' of having recourse to appeal to supernatural powers to intervene when the economic affairs of the community suffered crisis; and the inheritance of ancestral tradition. Within the indigenous religious tradition of the Sámi communities selected as comparanda for the purposes of the study, ancestral tradition was embodied, articulated and transmitted by particular supernatural entities, personal guardian spirits. Intervention in economic affairs fell within the remit of these spirits, along with others, which may be characterized as guardian spirits of localities, and guardian spirits of particular groups of game animals (such as wild reindeer, fish).

  • The Urban Graveyard
    THE URBAN GRAVEYARD THE THE URBAN GRAVEYARD THE URBAN GRAVEYARD It is commonly believed that in medieval and post-medieval towns and cities death outnumbered births and that these urban centres could only survive through the influx of migrants; a concept which has come to be known as the urban graveyard ARCHAEOLOGICAL effect. Whether this was indeed the case for all cities and towns is still debated, but it is certain that urban citizens were more used to death that we are today. The PERSPECTIVES medieval graveyards in which the deceased were interred, then still located within edited by town limits, are an invaluable source of knowledge for reconstructing past lives. R.M.R van Oosten, R. Schats, K. Fast, Systematic archaeological and osteoarchaeological research of urban graveyards has N. Arts & H.M.P. Bouwmeester become the norm in the Netherlands and Belgium since the 1980s. However, many of the studies remain unpublished and larger, overarching publications in which comparisons are made between different studies are still lacking. The urban graveyard presents several studies in which the results of older archaeological and osteoarchaeological research are compared to more recent excavation data from several Dutch, Belgian and Danish cities and towns. Both the archaeological data concerning burial position, orientation, and grave goods as well as osteoarchaeological data such as demographic information and pathological observations are discussed. This well-illustrated volume is a starting point and source of inspiration for more (inter)national comparative research.

  • Comparison of History and Fiction in Docudrama on Rescue of Danish Jews During the Holocaust
    Comparison of History and Fiction in Docudrama on Rescue of Danish Jews during the Holocaust Rabbi Dr. Chaim Simons P. O. Box 1775 Kiryat Arba 9010000 [email protected] Introduction Numerous docudramas have been produced on historical events. In some cases, the contents closely resemble what actually occurred. In other cases, numerous fictional events are incorporated for dramatic effect. One such docudrama was produced relating the escape of Danish Jews to Sweden during the period of the Holocaust. In this paper, a detailed analysis will be made on this film to investigate which scenes are in fact historical and which are fictional. It must be stressed that this paper is not a comprehensive study of the rescue of Danish Jewry. Furthermore, historians discuss whether the Germans were aware of the Jews escaping to Sweden but in many cases closed their eyes to this fact, and this also includes Werner Best, the plenipotentiary appointed by Hitler to Denmark, who may have had political reasons to do so. All this is outside the scope of this paper. Brief Historical background One of the countries conquered by Nazi Germany during the early part of the Second World War was Denmark. For the first three years, Denmark was allowed to continue to run its own affairs and the Jews were not persecuted. All this changed in autumn 1943, when the Germans proclaimed martial law and plans were made to deport Denmark’s Jews in a surprise attack on the Friday night of the first of October, a few hours after the termination of Rosh Hashanah.

  • The Hinnerup Family Branch
    The Hinnerup Family Branch This booklet is primarily a biography of Peder Reimer Hinnerup. It includes descriptions of his father, Anders Pedersen Hinnerup (ca. 1768-1806) and daughter Ane Petrine Frederikke Hinnerup (1834-1867). From the early 1970s to the mid 1990s my father Kai Madsen worked on the family tree of the Morell family and related branches. He compiled a number of booklets which were distributed to family members both in Denmark, Holland and in the US. This compendium is a translation of his works in 1979 and 1995 on the Hinnerup family. I have added comments and especially images. In general, pages consist of two parts: a scan of my father's original text in Danish followed by my translation on the next page. Regarding Kai's sources, he frequently visited national archives. Kai also had great contacts to Preben Engsig-Karup, to Jay Larsen, Henning Kristensen and to Gerda Kristensen, who all contributed greatly. Kai took photocopy of many documents belonging to different people now gone. Therefore in many cases it is not possible to trace a photocopy back to the original document in order to get a better print - for example a photo or scan instead of a photocopy. Dublin, Ireland, December 2017 Poul Madsen (son of Kai Madsen) - 2 - Værløse 1979 Foreword The description of the family branches of Peter Nielsen Tømmerbye and Anders Pedersen Hinnerup has been written as a branch of the Peder Pedersen Storm family branch. It should be noticed that the branch of Tømmerbye was married into the branch of Hinnerup, which itself was married into the Storm family by the wedding of Frederikke Hinnerup and Valdemar Storm.

  • Exploring Amsterdam by Tram
    Exploring Amsterdam by tram Trams are a convenient and simple way to get around Amsterdam. But even more than just a way to get from A to B, a tram ride can be a sightseeing tour in itself, taking in some of the city’s best sights and attractions along the way. There are three tram routes (1, 2 and 5) that travel up and down a central ‘spine’ of Amsterdam, from Centraal Station to Museumplein and back again. Tram #1, #2 and #5 Stop: Centraal Station As Amsterdam’s main transport hub, Centraal Station is a familiar starting point for most visitors to the city. The spectacular building opened its doors in 1889, and was designed by architect Pierre Cuypers, who also designed the Rijksmuseum. What to see and do: • Check out the vintage shops, hip cafes and arty design stores of vibrant Haarlemmerstraat to the west • Take the free ferry from behind Centraal Station to trendy Amsterdam Noord • Explore Oosterdok to the east of the station, making sure to take in the view of the city from NEMO’s rooftop terrace and stop for a drink at Hannekes Boom. From Centraal Station, the tram heads south down Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, once the city’s defence line (‘burgwal’ means ‘bastion wall’). Stop: Nieuwezijds Kolk Continue south, passing behind the impressive Nieuwe Kerk on your left. Despite being called ‘New Church’, this imposing monument actually dates from the 15th century and is only ‘new’ in relation to the nearby Oude Kerk (old church) which was deemed too small to be the parish church of Amsterdam’s expanding population in 1408.
