My grandmother Katherine (Katrina) Bendixen came to this country from Denmark in late 1880's with her husband Asmus and 2 children.She had a sister Anna and I thought a brother Peter.They settled in MN.One of her siblings lived in Omaha and another in the NW.I believe they initially went to Springfield, MN because they had aunts & uncles who settled there.I was told they were from the Schieswig-Holstein area of Denmark, which was under Danish rule until 1864 when the Prussion army took it over.
