Ludvig Martin son of Ludvig & Ingeborg
mrsdoubtfire	Hi & Happy New Year to all I have been trying to find details of my gggrandfather Ludvig Martin who was supposedly on the ship Swiftsure that arrived in New Zealand in 1865 from ? location. He was abt 19-21 years old in 1865 but cannot find where in Denmark he left from. His parents obviously remained in Denmark but cannot find them in the 1865 census Any pointers in the correct direction would be greatly appreciated Regards Darlene in Australia
Hopkins	The Danes didn't start really keeping information about emigrants until 1868 did they? http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=822552&disp=The+Copenhagen+Police+Records+of+Emigrat%20%20&columns=*,0,0
mrsdoubtfire	Thanks to all those who replied - I now believe that I have a bit missing from his real name - whether it be at the begining or at the end. I guess I will have to keep looking also post the childrens names as one lovely lady suggested - may be we can find him that way. I am leaning toward this one for some strange reason FT 1845 Ludvig Martin Lauritzen age 2 - Odense Christian Ludvig Martin Pedersen age 2 - Randers Martin Ludvig Lieberkind age 1 year - Frederiksborg Carl Ludvig Gottfried Martin Lesser age 1/2 year - København Or maybe I am just hoping it's him - but no mother listed - why would that be?? Kindest regards and thanks again Darlene in Australia
