Memoirs by Anne Marie Grønnegaard

A family with roots on Fanø - En familie med rødder på Fanø

En familie med rødder på Fanø Anne Marie Grønnegaard has devoted a large part of her life to identifying her descendants from Fanø. In 1988 she published the 3-volume book series "Sønderhoslægter 1630-1987". In 2005 "Sønderhoslægter 1988-2005", another 3-volume book series followed.

However, with her new book En familie med rødder på Fanø Anne Marie has gathered material for a different kind of book to that of her genealogy books. In this book she talks about her background of having been born and bred in Esbjerg but having very strong ties to Fanø. Many years ago Anne Marie received the memoirs of her aunt Sinne Sonnichsen, neé Thøgersen. With the family's permission, Anne Marie has included these memoirs in her book. They describe a family's life on Fanø and in part also in Esbjerg. She has also included the memoirs of her uncle Søren Hansen Sørensen, which he wrote in connection with receiving the Dannebrog decoration. Finally you get an overview of Anne Marie's close relatives from the past, e.g. uncles, aunts, grandparents and great-grandparents, spiced with additional details of some specific people.

Anne Marie has also chosen to include a short history of the buying-out of Fanø in 1741, in which Niels Sørensen (her 10th great-grandfather) played a central role.

She has corresponded with Nobel Prize winner Niels Kaj Jerne for 10 years and included some of the ideas he passed on to her about the population of Sønderho. All in all, a book in which Anne Marie's sense of facts, attention to detail and correctness are unfailing, but where room has also been left for stories and personal impressions.

The book was launched at a reception with a great turn-out in Sønderho Village Hall on the 28th June 2014.

What they said and wrote about the book
"Grønnegaard has with the three further volumes again displayed her impressive skills, knowledge and overview in compiling and recording Sønderho's ancestry - and her fantastic will power. This work goes beyond standard genealogy books, as it compiles the history of an entire parish. As far as I'm aware, no other genealogy work does that. It has therefore already attracted attention as the basis for research, because sociologist as well as health researchers have shown an interest". Karen Baungaard in Fanø Ugeblad, 20th Oct. 2005.

" - It is an invaluable piece of work, because as soon as I see a name, be it Kromann, Thøgersen, Antonisen or Brinch in a newspaper, and I don't know the person, I can then just go in and check in Anne Marie Grønnegaard's books to see whether or not I'm related to them, explains Finn Brinch". Vestkysten 16th Oct. 2005.

Do you know the Grønnegaard family and its chronicles? Niels Grønnegaard Pedersen has collected the chronicles and published them in two volumes.
Descendants from Nordby
As mentioned above I have also been working for many years on a similar project about my descendants from Nordby from the 1600s through to the 21st century. If you have any questions, photographic material or information on this subject, I would also very much like to hear from you.
