Hi IdaKay

Danish patronymic names end in "sen" not "son" so look for Jensen and
Larsen.

Unless it is a typo, it looks like you are using the US format for your
dates which is very confusing for Danes who use the format "day, month,
year". Please use the genealogical standard -- 23 Dec 1856 and 2 Dec 1875
and there is no confusion.

I cannot find a place called Saabe, but it is possibly Såby (old spelling
Saaby) but that is in Yding sogn, Vor Herred, Skanderborg Amt. There is also
a Kirke Såby sogn in Voldborg herred, København amt.

I can find eight places called Albæk but only the two that you have
identified are parishes.

You write "I went to the site" which site? If I knew which site you were
writing about I might be able to help you.

Vælg means choose.

> I am trying to find my Gr Grandmother Dorothea Jenson. She was born
12/23/1856. Her obituary here in Door County, Wisconsin says she was born
in Saabe, Denmark. I believe I have found her in the emigration listing
for 12/02/1875. It states her birth parish is Albæk / her last residence
was Hjørring. I have been told she had three brothers Andrew, Peter and
Christ and that their father was Jens Larson.

Randers. I am trying to find her in the 1860 census or any place else.
