Hello!

Thank you for your reply! My Grandmother's married name was Nyman(n), however her maiden name was Kriel. I've managed to trace her back to Southern Denmark - specifically Nykobing-Falster to about 1840's - where they owned a store on Gronnegade 1.

What I was looking for was my Grandfather's history, Walter Paul Nymann, born March 29, 1892, died May 13, 1965. He was a meat cutter for 55 years and member of Butchers local 229; member of Excelsior Masonic lodege 175 in Milwaukee. I was looking to fill the time-gap between Walter's presence in Milwaukee and when he was born in Denmark. Walter's mother's maiden name was Andersen Thank you for your suggestion and help!

Both Nymann and Andersen are Danish in origin, so if you are looking for history, I suggest you look up a Danish family tree site. There is a Danish Deme research site, which is doing DNA testing. This is being done since Denmark was one of the last countries to adopt surnames, and tracing is virtually impossible previous to the adoption of surnames: for example, Erik the Red had a son name Leif - Leif Eriksen - Leif's son would have had the surname Leifsen. Danish & Norwegian surnames for "son" end in "sen", whereas Swedish surnames end in "son". I hope this helps.
