Denmark

Copenhagen , Denmark was really fun...........we especially enjoyed our time with
Bor. & Sis. Thomsen. Here we leaving church to go do some sight seeing. They hold
church in the Ballerup Train Station.
Here we are eating a sack lunch that Sis. Thomsen packed for us before entering the
Freiderekborg Castle.


After the castle and a fun custom tour they took us on of the area we went to their home. That
was very special........she treated us to a typical Danish lunch.........a declicious open-faced shrimp sandwich.



Our second day in Copenhagen we went in search of a couple family history spots. First I wanted to find the home where our ancestors lived when Niels Peter Christiansen Sr., my great-great-grandfather was born. We found the street, but couldn't really be sure which
building they lived in, because the house numbers have changed since the mid 1800's. This
building looked like the oldest on the street to me, so that is our best guess! Maybe next
time we go we can get better information on the history of this area.


This is the Lutheran church where he was christened! It is a famous church in
copenhagen........called the "Church of Our Savoir".
