his father: Laus Madsen [Kent Christoffersen]
his mother: Else Sørensdatter [Kent Christoffersen]

The original research here was done by Cora Christofferson from Danish church records.  Since Denmark was one of the last areas of Europe to adopt Catholicism, the records of births and death are limited only to the time beginning with these church records.  These churches later became Lutheran. Most of these records are maintained in local archives and were microfilmed by the LDS. We still have an incomplete history of this family and I look forward to information that can complete the lists of the children.  There are two different photo records in Danish Family Search, one from the original parish record and the other a copy done by a later priest.  I have used the copy which is less random, better quality and better organized.

                      - Niel Mikkelsen christened 10 FEB 1732   Sønderbjerg, Thisted, Denmark [LDS christening records]

It appears that Michel Madsen divorced his first wife after February 1732 because Maren Nielsdatter doesn't die until 1743.   He then remarries Karen Petersdatter in May 1732.
1732- 4 MAY -   Michel Madsen is listed marrying Karen Petersdatter in  Søndbjerg, Refs, Thisted, Denmark. [Dan. Fam. Search p.96]
