Morup Mølle (Morup Mill),
Denmark.
Before and during
the 1930's the lake behind the mill became a
recreation area.
The mill by this
time was already not functioning as a mill.

Morup Mølle, the town, is the birth place of Kristine
Sørensdatter. Michel Paulsen comes to the town and eventually
becomes "the miller." This how he came by the last name of
Møller, meaning miller. He also dies here.
[Christoffersen]
This small town on the Jutland Peninsula still has a building on
the site of the old mill (Molle) but it now houses a restaurant
next the stream. A two lane country road runs in front of the
building and crosses the stream with a small bridge. A narrow park
with walking path now extends up and down the stream through the
hamlet. This was apparently a tourist spot in Denmark during the
1930's and 40's. People were primarily attracted by the nearby
Northsea beaches and freshwater lake created by the stream.
The present mill has been off and on a restaurant, a bed and
breakfast and more recently has changed owners several times.
1767 - Michel Poulsen is baptised (at the bottom of the photo) in
Søndbjerg parish as the son of Poul Jepsen and Johanne Michelsdtr.
[Danish Family Search, p17]
1796, Apr 23 - There is a marriage recorded for Michel Poulsen and Kirstine Sørensdatter in
Bested, Thisted, Denmark. Other witnesses are Niels Pedersen of
Odbye, K Xstensen of Lund. [Dan. Fam. Search -
Hassing, Bested parish 1766-1814 p.43]
I not sure when they moved to Holmgaard
mill but they are here by 1799.
1799, Aug 29 - Søren Michelsen is born to Michel
Poulsen Holmgaard. In Ydby
parish Thisted. [Dan Fam Search p142]
1802 , Dec 9 - Mads Mikkelsen
is born in Ydby. His parish record is not placed in the correct
order. It seems the parish minister was a little lazy or
distracted and didn't get around to writing it down until 16
January 1803 when he is baptized. It's impossible to read the
wife's name. Anne Madsdatter of Morup Mølle is
readable, Anne Madsdatter would then be the half sister of
Kirstine Sørensdatter, mother, Anne then the aunt of Mads born
here.

parish 1733-1809. p146]
1805, March 13 - Christen
Møller is baptized to Mikkel Poulsen Møller. [Danish Family
