Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to locate information on my gggrandfather Louis A Kofod born in Oct. 1870 or 1871. Specifically I would like to find out any immigration information. He is listed in the 1900 Census in Jamestown, New York. His wife's name was Hansina born in Jan. 1868. They both have Denmark listed as their place of birth. Louis listed his year of immigration as 1891 and Hansina is listed as 1892. From the Census data I believe they were married in New York around 1895. Their children listed in the Census are Ruth E. Kofod born in 1896 and my ggrandfather Henry W. Christian Kofod born Dec 22 1898 in Jamestown, NY. Henry deid in 1919 at the age of 21 while my ggrandmother was pregnant with my grandfather. Apperantly there were some hard feelings between my ggrandmother and Henry's family, so none of my living relatives know anything about this side of the family. Louis does not show up in the Census again until 1930 still living in Jamestown, NY and with no children in the home. I know alot of work has been done on the Kofoeds in Denmark and I would like to find my family's connection. I have not found any immigration records for Louis and, as I don't know Hansina's maiden name, I am don't even know where to start looking for her. I believe Louis may have Americanized his name. I would also like to find out what happened to Ruth after 1900. If anyone has run across any of these names in your research please let me know. Any help is greatly appriciated.

William Kofod
