Here’s the manifest of the ship S.S Helig Olav that was where the above photo was taken in 1928

This page and this Borglum family has nothing to do with Gutzon Borglum, his brother Solon Borglum, or his son Lincoln Borglum, the famous artists and stonemasons that carved the faces of presidents on Mt. Rushmore (to be more accurate; we think our Borglum line is unrelated to his). To go to links for Gutzon or Lincoln Borglum, click here or here or here in Danish. To go to links about Solon Borglum, click here or here or here. To the best of our knowledge, both our families originated in Borglum, Denmark, and we are not related, since their “Borglum” name goes back to at least 1784. Our ancestor Anders Gregers Larsen adopted the name of the town of Borglum, Denmark -his first wife’s birthplace- on August 17, 1905.

Prior to that, our lineage “surnames” included Moller, Sorensen, Elkidsdatter, Ravnskov, Pedersdatter, Eriksen, Jensdatter, Andersdatter, and Christensen, all prior to the adoption of last names in Denmark.

Note that dates in Europe switch positions with the U.S. method, so August 10, 1905 is either 10.8.1905 or 8.10.1905, so some confusion exists in some postings.

Guide:
This page was constructed to have a vertical heirarchy, unlike most, so an alpha-numeric tracking was created.
Each generation adds a letter or number to code-end, siblings then are in alpha-numeric order.
Example: WXY is VWX’s child; LCD and LCE are siblings, LCE1 is LCE’s child) (“and” means “married to”)

I changed Anders Gregers Larsen from YZA to LCB just to get the family back to the left margin of the page.

Guide: (in Danish – copy and paste to Google Translate)
Denne side blev konstrueret til at have et vertikalt heirarki, i modsætning til de fleste, så der blev oprettet en alfanumerisk sporing.
Hver generation tilføjer et bogstav eller tal til kode-ende, søskende er derefter i alfanumerisk rækkefølge.
Eksempel: WXY ​​er VWXs barn; LCD og LCE er søskende, LCE1 er LCE’s barn) (“og” betyder “gift med”)
Jeg har ændret Anders Gregers Larsen fra YZA til LCB for blot at få familien tilbage til venstre side af siden.

—————

The name in Danish is pronounced burr’-lum and is spelled Børglum or Börglum. Borglum in English is pronouned “bore’-glum“.

Note that there are discrepancies on geanealogy, depending on source. click here for a pdf on Anders within his Danish family genealogy by Jette Olsen (in Danish – copy and paste to Google Translate)

Some offspring took the father’s first name as their last name, some didn’t, many changed name spelling as they aged, especially those that emmigrated to the US.
These people changed names more than hippies in the ’60s!

LCH  (Unknown name, female, does not appear on Jette’s list, perhaps an error in old handwritten (Tenus) Borglum records, or an infant death, 4 years to Ane birth since Karen – a long time comparatively for the parents that had a child every 1-2 years, so quite possibly supports a missing child in between Karen and Ane). Jette noticed that the mother would have been approximately 43 in age at the time of birth. Jette and others have found no evidence of her in church and census records, so we are assuming it was a mistake in family memory, and we have closed the search for her. I leave this info up only in case we are mistaken and someone finds her elsewhere and looks for her here.

LCB5d Leo Norman Borglum   b1925, had a daughter (Sheri) out of wedlock with Vera Anderson. Leo disappeared prior to the child’s birth, a family scandal about abandonment. Vera put Sheri up for adoption. Leo then married a woman with children. Leo’s whereabouts were unknown -even though he lived less than 50 miles away- until recently when Sheri contacted me, having found this website. Vera -on her deathbed- told Sheri that Leo didn’t know she was pregnant when he left.

(note: Birth name was Thinus. He didn’t like the way Thinus was pronounced in English and changed it to Tenus. Thinus means “tenth male” in Danish and Latin. With Tenus and his younger brother Dusinus “twelveth”, a pattern of numbering the kids started. Anders’ second wife, whom he married after Maren’s death, apparently ended the trend of numbering kids. Tenus came from Denmark in 1911 and first lived and farmed in Minnesota. He moved his family to NY in 1928, where he farmed until he retired. Family lore has it that Tenus had a heart attack at home, drove himself to the hospital, and stopped to free a neighbor’s cow from barbed wire along the way.

The “Borglum cough”. I remember Tenus always clearing his throat. I hear that his sons’ wives have sent them to doctors for it. I have it, as do my brothers. Its a regular clearing of the throat. I think its a genetic mucosal sinus defect, maybe.

The “Borglum cough”. I remember Tenus always clearing his throat. I hear that Pop and the uncles’ wives have sent them to doctors for it. I have it, as do my brothers. Its a regular clearing of the throat. I think its a genetic mucosal sinus defect, maybe.

My experience with DNA testing to find relatives:
I have been the family genealogist for 35 years. I have many hundreds of relatives identified back to the 1700s on both sides of the family.

In 2011 I had my DNA tested including paying extra for all the upgrades Since 2011 I have never had ANY of those known relatives identified by Genebase.

Here is a typical message I get from Genebase:
“We found a family member of yours. There is a 50% chance that Keith Borglum and Joseph Michael Cramp shared a common ancestor within the last 39 generations. There is a 95% chance within 93 generations. ”
93 generations? That’s probably 4,600 years ago, that’s 2584 B.C., without identifying anyone on the way back; just that this guy Joe and I share the same DNA with someone 4,600 years ago. That’s around when they finished the Great Pyramid at Geza. No proof or info other than “shared DNA markers”, nothing of any other interest, no ethnicity, nothing. Who cares?
So Joe and I share a
great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather
And Joe’s the closest match they have come up with!

Genebase is also promoting to me that for another $119 each they’ll tell me if I share any DNA with Genghis Khan, Billy The Kid, Queen Victoria, or other famous people. But they weren’t already on my results list, so why bother?

On the other hand, I have found many hundreds of relatives on both sides of the family by creating this family tree website listing all the names I know, and their photos, and also listing on genealogy sites like Geni.com, FamilySearch.org and MyHeritage.com. Mostly I hear from other family genealogists with relations within 3-5 generations contacting me after having found the info I posted online. Then we link to each other’s sites and share content, further widening the net.

As example, we had lost any contact or info about my maternal grandfather’s family after he immigrated from Germany in 1924, but had a photo of him with what looked like family . I posted his name and that photo online, and after 2 years I was contacted by a distant cousin in Germany who was the grandson of my grandfather’s brother whom is in the photo. He had the same photo. He had found my photo linked to my grandfather’s name and contacted me, with identities of everyone in the photo and all their genealogy history, including hundreds more relatives.

Another genealogy technique is -if you have a photo- try uploading it to TinEye.com to see if it is also published anywhere else on the internet.

It is my proven experience that searching names and photos yields much more results than DNA blood testing.
I think DNA testing is useful if you have identified another living person and you want to know if they are related to you, and you both are willing to pay for the DNA tests and share them.
