That is interesting. What is the time period that the descendent went to
Holbæk?

The family story told that this family had a Jewish ancestor, and that one
was killed driving a beer wagon and then all the children were "put out"
into foster care. I found that Peder Jensen v. Post died at 41 when my
great grandmother was two.
