Dear cousin Charlotte,

When your letter come to my mothers and your aunt: Paula Paulsen (married Pedersen), I phoned to my and your uncle: Holger Paulsen, who lives in Copenhagen. He has five children, four living in copenhagen and the youngest girl married in Germany. My mother (70 years old she 10 may 1968) has six children, four here in Alborg and I have a brother and a sister in copenhagen. As you see, you have eleven cousins in denmark. Your and mine uncle: Marinus Paulsen is died 1964 in Aarhus 4 july (danish, english day in Rebild park.). My mother is born 1898, Holger in 1900, and Marinus 1895. My father: Jens Christian Predelund Pedersen died in 1936. We say thanks for your letters, and we could like to show you, your sister and her husband several places in Alborg and Sonder Trander where you father live in his time from he was born to he immigrated to U.S.A.

My mother and my uncle has several times told me about yourfather, and my uncle has three times tired to find him, but he couldnt.

You tried to find your fathers two brothers and one sister in your letters of 8. may, and we got your letter to-day the 13. may. from the postoffice, and your uncle Holger get his letter from you to-morrow the 14-5-68 morning.

Dear Sir:

Nearly sixty years ago my father immigrated to the United States from a farm near Aalborg, Denmark. He left behind a large family of brothers and sisters with whom he has lost contact over the years.

My sister and I will be visiting in Europe this summer, stopping in Denmark but a few days. We are hopeful of meeting any relatives that may still be in the area.

Would you be so kind as to try to deliver the following letters to any of the following people or their families? I should appreciate it if this could be done very soon since I will be leaving here in about a month from now and would like to hear from them before I go.

Thank you for your courtesy.

Sincerely,

Charlotte L. Johnson
