Pictures from Kragdrup - family.



The family of  Soren Andersen og Karen Marie Hansdatter, at my Grandfather Kristian Peter Sorensens konfirmation d. 6. oktober 1878. His small brother Peder Christian Sorensen (Kragdrup) 9 year is sitting on his right side.


Peder Christian Sorensen (Kragdrup)
Peder was for many year leader of a house for poor people in Taars. The house burned and he became a farmer. His farm was "Vester Kragdrup". He took the name Kragdrup.
My mother liked the family of her fathers brother very much and visited often the home.
