Hi Andrew

think it's so nice that you have great memories of your grandfather J

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]"
