The Family Von Mehren
I, Hother von Mehren, have written this family book after a scan and and a photocopy which I received from Pam Alley von Mehren, as well as a scanned copy which I received from the Royal. Library, Copenhagen, which has a copy of the book in their archives. As several of the words were quite indistinct, I have sometimes had to venture a guess what was written. In some cases, it was impossible for me to decipher the writing, as it was written in an old-fashioned typewriter, and some of the letters were completely smeared. What I could not clearly read, are marked in red text. The German phrases I had big problems with, because I'm not very good in understanding the German language. I hope that anyone, who reads this anyway, will get something out of it.

The dates are in Danish format dd/mm/yyyy or mm.dd.yyyy English ormat. 2 The question of my family history and ancestry have already in my younger years had my interest, but so far in my experience, the issue has not previously been the subject of in-depth studies. So far such investigations, if any have been instituted, do not seem to have led to any resolution of the family ancestry, because when I, years ago, before I even started to deal with inquiries in this regard, asked the older members of the family, no one was able to provide information.
