births based on records of Kent Christoffersen

Søren becomes a baker in the area, following his family's tradition. The bakery continued in family ownership until present. It was not used as a bakery after about 1980 but instead was a place that Poul Hedegaard and his sons used to process honey. The old bakery building had low a ceiling and open beam work and was torn down in 2003.

 At some point, perhaps to alleviate some of the confusion with so many Christensons, Søren decides to use the Hedegaard last name. 

Poul Hedegaard was part of the Resistance during the war.   He along with Askov, his brother-in-law, helped to destroy the railway line that took German soldiers and arms into Norway.  [Kent Christoffersen 5/30/08]

Neils Hedegaard, son of Søren, was responsible for the introduction of mink farming in the Jutland area. Søren Peter Hedegaard recently retires from the mink farming business.
