From 1562 to around 1800 the family remained in the Ottestrup area, Specifically Ottestrup, Vedbynoore (spelled different in the genealogy), Sorterup and Sonderup, which are small villages in Soro on the island of Zealand  Denmark.  Soro is also a not too distant larger city.  I don’t know if it is also something like a county or if they just start with the residence city and list each larger city for reference. ie Oak City, Delta, SLC, Utah, USA. Here are pictures from these villages taken June 2011.

 

Some time around 1800, Anders Larsen moved to Holbaek about 45 Km North.  We didn’t visit this reasonably large city as it would be too difficult to identify a proximity as we did with the small villages and they moved back to the Soro area before immigrating to America.  If you would like to see Holbaek it can be viewed on google earth at street level.

Jens Andersen, who immigrated to the US was born in Holbaek, however he returned to Soro, Specifically Taarnborg, “Tarnboo” along the western coast of Zealand, Denmark before immigrating.
