| | As told by Tammy Høy McIntire, November 2000 | Dato: 29 juli 2006 | Bothilde Hauerslev
I am 41 and have been working on my family history for about 12 years off and on. I have mostly been researching my Hoy family in the Sonderborg/ Aabenraa region. They are my father's fathers family.
As my maiden name is Hoy. My father's mothers family are the Hauerslev's.
Bothilde was my father's grandmother. I do not have a lot of information about her. I did find a copy of her marriage license issued in Brooklyn with her name and Emeline's name. Emeline was apparently Bothilde's Maid of Honor (witness) to her wedding.
I also have just recently received a copy from the US National Archives of the Passenger list from the ship she arrived on. I also have the US Census record for 1900 for her living in Brooklyn. It was very difficult at first to find anything on her because she apparently used the last name of Haverly when she arrived in the US. I'm not sure why.
I only discovered the name Hauerslev after finding her marriage record and the birth record for her daughter, my grandmother [Florence E. Fietzek aka. Ethel]. She seemed to have used both names.
Bothilde apparently died a year or so after I was born, my father couldn't remember the exact year but thought it was about 1961. And her daughter Florence Ethel died in 1971 in New York.

Was there a sister named Jensine also? I found her name on the Danish Emigration Archives website and also on the Ship's Passenger List that Bothilde came over here on. (Ship was the: S.S. St. Paul) It looks like Jensine paid the fare for Bothilde's ticket to NY. I've looked up Emeline and Jensine on the US Social Security Death index, and found two possible matches. Not sure though because the last names on the death index are married names and I don't know who they married at this point.
Picture of Ethel (Ethel is in the front row all the way on the right): She is the mother of the groom (my uncle, Bruce Nicolai Hoy) Mike and I both thought her eyes, cheeks and nose were almost the same as Bothilde's and very much like Emiline's too. | | | | | | | | | | | | Gå: tilbage - op Opdateret mandag, 02 januar 2012 17:01:35 | | |
