Notes - Having trouble finding her birth record in the Danish archives. The information I have came from Marsha Buck Allen which she got while someone was helping her in the Family History Library. The original source is unknown.
After looking through several pages of birth and confirmation records from Mårup Parish, I suspect that her middle name is really Marie and that her father's first name is probably Jens. (Jens is the Danish version of John.)
Lønstrup is in Mårup Parish, Hjørring County
