[h-cost] Sorenson OT +
I wonder how common Sorenson is. I know of many in Minnesota and a few in Missouri. Interestingly, in trying to search for the name Tias, I was told to try Denmark. As yet this seemingly obscure surname doesn't seem to be Danish. Doesn't seem to be any nationality.:P And speaking of Danish, Has anyone made Danish lace and is there a recommended book on how to do it? De -Original Message- (snip) My great-grandfather's family (Sorensen) was also from Denmark and I'm finally doing some genealogy research with an aunt.

Re: [h-cost] Sorenson OT +
Hi De, Sorensen would be Sørensen in danish. It is rather common with the name Petersen, Nielsen, Jensen and so on. It is the first name of a person with sen in the end. Sen means son. Sørens son, Henriks son and so on. Tias is a rare name, dont you think it could have ben a name someone had buyed? Danish laces ah yes, i have many experiments with these The danish laces are called Tønder laces, after a city in the south of Jutland. In this county there used to live thousinds of lacemakers back in 18th century, and there was an industry since the 17th century and documentation also that it was made there in 16th century. They always made laces after the fashion, f.instance when Arras laces was fashionable, they made Arras, Lille in fashion, they made Lille and so on. The laces most people think about today, when thinking Tønder laces, are tulle ground laces with floral patterns. These were made from end of 18th century till well into the 20th century. One of the best books about some danish patterns would be: Johanne Nyrup Larsen: Knipling efter tegning. (Lace made from drawings) Inge Wind Skovgaard: Tønderkniplinger I- and II. The last 30 years the lacemaking has become a renaissance here, many young people wants to learn. I am afraid that you will have some troubble in finding english books on the subjekt but if you are interrested, i am willing to send you some patterns if you like.

RE: [h-cost] Sorenson OT +
I knew about the sen and son part of the name. :) There is a possibility the name Tias might have been Ties. I've pretty much given up the search. Most of my families records lead to a dead end due to fires at the court houses.:P The Danish lace info is for a friend's cousin who is trying to recreate a 1800s wedding dress from a picture and letters. A letter mentions something about the dress lace being Danish lace. So she was wanting to learn how to make the lace. De -Original Message- Hi De, Sorensen would be Sørensen in danish.

Re: [h-cost] Sorenson OT +
I know how you feel, Bjarne. My family research hit a wall too, due to a language barrier and a revolution. My great-great-great--(forget how many greats) grandfather left France in 1786 (3 years before the French Revolution) for Canada at the age of two. I don't speak French, and even if I did the odds of any records surviving the Revolution probably aren't good. On the other hand, a cousin has traced my great-great--(again, forgot how many greats) grandmother, Lady Anne Gosse, to 1660s England. I think we have an SCA persona here! I can borrow her name and craft a history based on the info my cousin dug up. Michelle, seeing the cup half-full. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
