Niels is born into a family of bakers and
millers that go back several generations. Many family members take up the skills of
farming that has sustained the family on the Jutland peninsula
for several hundred years. Niels himself is said to have
been the first to introduce mink raising as an industry to
Jutland. His son Søren continued the tradition until he
retired.
1916, March 3 - Niels
Kristian Hedegaard is born to Bager (baker) Søren Hedegaard 28
years old and his wife Karen Marie Pedersen 27 year, of
Søndbjerg.

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.
