Mail til Andrew Johnson søndag den 4.8.2013

Hi Andrew

Thanks for your permission to share your email. I think it's so nice that you have great memories of your grandfather J 

Most members of the Facebook group are descendants of Jens Jacob Sparvath from Malmoe in Sweden - just like you and I, so I hope that you'll get response from some of them - preferably several of them.

Now a response from me:

About Kundby village in Danish, this is from Google-translate:

"Kundby is a small town on the North West Zealand with 716 inhabitants (2013) [1]. Kundby is located in Kundby parish three miles east of Svinninge, four kilometers south of Gislinge and 15 kilometers west of Holbaek. The city belongs Holbaek Municipality and is located in Region Zealand. Kundby Church is located in the city."

Earlier Kundby was a farm community - farmers and smallholders did not own their farms and houses, but were tenants. They should work for the estate.


About Hoerve village in Danish, this is from Google-translate:

"Hoerve is a railway town in North Zealand in the southernmost part of Odsherred. The town has 2,377 inhabitants (2013) [1] and is located in Odsherred Municipality, Region Zealand.
Hoerve located near Dragsholm castle and belongs to Hoerve Parish. Hoerve Church was built as a round church in the 1100s, but was later changed to a "normal" country church. The town has two schools: Vallekilde-Hoerve School and Vallekilde-Hoerve Free School.
Hoerve Station is on Odsherred course was inaugurated in 1899. Hoerve then was rather insignificant, but grew later steeply due to some industry that occurred after desiccation of the Lammefjord and the opening of the court. Hoerve was railway junction 1918-56 when Hoerve-Værslev Railway existed. [2]"
