Richard,
I may have a connection on your mother's side. My ancestor is Pay
CARSTENSEN
(11/2/1708-5/31/1777) and he was born and died in Lindholm. He married Kie
JAPPENS on 8/10/1742 in Lindholm. The only child I have of this marriage is
Ingeberg PAYSEN (4/9/1748-2/27/1831)

If you have any connections to this line please let me know. I have
descendants
information on this line if you are interested.
