Thank you for the additional information and the explaination of last names. Interesting. Most of my family is from Ireland and England so have not run into that naming problem. Just curious where you live? We are in the state of Washington. I talked to my friend and she would be interested in the information you have found, either through me or to her. I suggested since I am working on the tree it would be best to have any info you have uncovered come to me. If you want, you can contact me directly at commonsrod(a)cpcinternet.com.
Thanks again for your help.

The Swedes (and Danes and Norwegians) used a patronymic naming system up until the 1800's (some families adapted to the change sooner than others so you'll find it either way in the mid 1800s) Children were literally named as their father's son or daughter. i.e. 'Eric's son' or Eric's dotter' . Eric Hazelius was also known as Eric Persson since his father was Per Ericsson. Per Ericsson was the son of Eric Palsson... and Eric Palsson would have been the son of Pal _____ .
I can't tell you exactly when or why Eric took the surname Hazelius. I followed his family through the Household Exams from his birth through his marriage and Hazelius first shows up in the HH Exams in the 1840-1857 records. I didn't see a note re the name change though and neither his father or his brother Pal seem to have taken that surname (at least on the records I found).
It did give me a couple more little pieces of info to pass along though:
Per (sometimes spelled Pehr) Ericsson was born May 30 1786 (parents Eric Palsson and Kjerstin Pehrsdotter) and Brita Jonsdotter was born Jan 12 1794 ( parents Jons Pehrson and Ana Olofsdotter). They were married on June 25 1811 in Hassela.
I didn't write down siblings names, but did save the record to my 'shoebox' so I can easily find that info again if your friend is interested.

Hi. I found a Hazelius family tree that had much the same info you provided. They did have a Nils Andreas Hazelius born and died 1854. Also, census records once they arrive in America in 1858 show they had a daughter, Ida C. Hazelius, born 1862. Last name info is a little confusing because Eric Persson Hazelius' parents are listed as Per Ericsson and Brita Jonsdotter, so all of the children in this tree have the last name Ericsson. I also found a Civil War record for a Errick Hazalines from Pra du Chien, Wisconsin, enlisted 3Feb1862 and died 24Aug1863 at Memphis, Tennessee, of disease. He was in company F, 17th Wisconsin Infantry. In addition there is a widow's pension file filed by Margaret Hoselius for Erik Hazelius. Plus there is a military Gravesite record for Erich Hazelius, Wisconsin, which matches with the Civil War death record above.

That is the Hazaleus family we are researching. I'll pass along to the family member. She is not on Ancestry yet but plans to do so and I will transfer the tree I am developing to her once she is a member. Thanks for your help and research. Since I just developed the tree this week, it will probably be another week before Ancestry updates the data base so you and others can look at the family.Johan Paul Hazaleus is the gr-grandfather. We too found the spelling Hazelius, but it appears the last two generations have used Hazaleus, although there are several other translations from census records.

I took a look at the Swedish records too (just for fun) and this is what I found...
There was a family living in Kölsjön, Hassela parish, Gävleborg, Sweden who according to parish records left for North America in June 1858.
That family consisted of:
Eric Persson Hazelius, born Sept 19 1826
Margreta (Greta) Ericsdotter, born Oct 16 1825
Per Eric Hazelius, born Mar 31 1848
Jon Olaf Hazelius,born Sept 22 1850
Johan Paulus Hazelius, born June 22 1852
Nils August Hazelius, born May 26 1855
Alexander Hazelius, born Aug 7 1857
Eric Hazelius and Margreta Ericsdotter married on June 30 1848.
(By the way, their name was spelled 'Hazelius' in the parish records.)
There is more to find if they are interested. Both the Danish and Swedish parish records are available online. The Danish records are free, and the Swedish records are available on Ancestry if you have a world membership. Or there is also Arkidigital which charges a small fee.
I've temporarily saved copies of some of the Christensen and Hazelius records I found (birth, marriage, census) and would be happy to forward them if you think they might be interested in having them.

Remember spelling was not as standardized in past times, and also the people writing down information in records were not always careful about spelling.
DNA is not fair, it does not "share" space in the way it is inherited. Your result does not mean 3% of your ancestors were of that heritage.

Wonderful information for the local family who always heard Christensen was Danish, but were confused by his WWI draft registration card. I'll include this in the Ancestry.com family I have created for them. It is under the name Hazaleus, but may not show up for a week or more. The Hazaleus family (spelled several ways, including Hazelius on the passenger list)came from Sweden in Aug1858.

Yes, Haderslev was considered part of Schleswig,and a family from there would be Danish. That area was part of Denmark until about 1864 when it was lost to Prussia in the 'Second War of Schleswig', then came under German rule and in 1920 northen Schleswig was returned to Denmark. As I understand it they took a vote in Feb 1920 and about 84% of Haderslev's residents voted to be under Danish rule. (Central Schleswig voted about 80% the other way and so are now part of Germany.)
I'm fairly sure that that's Hans and Anna living in Minneapolis in 1900 with Christian (would have been just before he married Ida on Oct 17th that year), Lina (Ane Caroline b. May 13 1888, d. Aug 8 1949) and Tommy (Thomas M Christensen, b. Nov 26 1890,d. Nov 1976.) BTW Ane Caroline's birth and death records as well as Thomas' death record give their mother's maiden name as Wolf or Wullf.

This is awesome and I thank you for taking the time to do the research. The information for Christian Thomas Christensen I found on his Wold War I draft card indicating birth as 25Jun1879, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Does this location fit into the area you mentioned that could have been considered in Germany in the early 1900s?
My friend, a Christensen who asked me to do the research, says family members think he was from Denmark.

I'm not related, but saw your post and just thought I'd see what I could find for you. Here are a couple little bits of information:
There was a Christian Thomasen Christensen who was born on June 25 1879 in Brændstrup, Rødding parish, Haderslev Amt., Denmark. His parents were Hans Christensen and Ane Catharina Wollf. You'll find the family listed on the passenger list for the Frisia, departed Hamburg on Mar 16 1881. (He also had a brother Johan Andreas Christensen who was born Jan 11 1881 and died in Minneapolis in May of 1911)
Rødding is in that part of Denmark that changed hands between Denmark, Prussia, Germany and then back to Danish rule again about 1920 - which would account for the family listing themselves as being from Germany on some records.
Anyway...
Hans Christensen and Ane Catharina Wollf were married in Rødding kirke on June 14 1879. Ane Catharina Wollf was born in Rødding on Dec 14 1856. Her parents were Johan Samuel Wollf and Ane Kirsten Seeburg
Below is her family on the 1860 census.

Message Board Post:
Dear Iver,
The name is spelled in many different ways - Duedal, Duedahl, Duedall, Dudal etc. - and there are many reasons for that. The name of the family home in Jutland is Duedal. "Due" means "dove" and "dal" (very similar to "thal" in German) means "valley". Our ancestor, Laurids, thought that the name looked nicer with an h, while others thought it should be spelled in other ways. In Iver's case it is obviously the local parish priest in Hoptrup, who have spelled the name with two l's - I can see that in the parish register, where the name at Iver's birth is Duedall.
By the way, Laurids Duedahl had his own interpretation of what "due" meant - at least he joked with that according to Evald Tang Kristensen. The reason is that "due" can also mean "do" or "doable" or rather "capable", which he thought characterized the people in his family.
Are you aware that most of the Danish church records and censuses are now online and fully accesible for you as well? You can find them on arkivalieronline.dk - I have found Christian Duedahls birth for you, then you can see that his name was with an h. [But because of the file format, I haven't been able to attach it - will have to send it to you in another way].
At Johanne Hellewadts birth, I can see that her father was Iver Jensen Hellewadt (that explains the name Iver!) and that he was a farmer, and according to the censuses he had a rather big farm.
I can also see that Christian Duedahl in 1845 was living in the city of Vejle where he served the local coachbuilder Kristian Sørensen and that they lived in the street, Grønnegade No. 161 (old numbers). Both the coachbuilder and his wife were from the southern part of Jutland, and that might explain how Christian came into contact with Johanne.
But where Christian and Johanne married remains a mystery - at least I haven't been able to find it today.
I am attaching file regarding Iver's birth - now with the name spelled with two l's. [cannot attach that either, unfortunetely]. The file tells that Iver's parents are indeed married and that they are from "Steenholdt" (today Stenholt), which is a village located in Ulkebøl parish near the city of Sønderborg. That she nevertheless gave birth at her parents parish seem to confirm Evald Tang Kristensen's claim that Christian had already left.
Another thing seem to confirm that he had left by then, namely that neither Christian nor his brother Christen (who went to USA with him) are to be found in the census of 1855.
At that time, most emigrants went through Hamburg in Germany, so the question is whether you can find the year of his departure there?
When Christian died, we don't know. But at the same time it really pains me, that I might have read it once. What comes to my mind is that some years ago, when I was an archivist at Odense City Archives, a colleague showed me a notice in the local newspaper of the 1850s, 1860s or 1870s. He showed it to me because the notice was about a man named Duedal from Denmark who had died in an accident in the U.S. That could be anyone, but the reason I remember it is, that the notice also said that he was from Vejle County (where our family is from and Christian was born), and I remember that I thought I should then be related to him one way or another. Now, that the notice could be useful, I haven't got a clue of how to find it again - that would take weeks of hard work.
Could you tell me when Johanne Hellewadt died and where? Then I could look her up in the parish register - it might tell us something useful.
My email-address is: duedahl(a)cgs.aau.dk
Best regards,
Poul

Dear "Duedahl family in Denmark"
Ancestry.com notified us of your posting. We are quite excited to read your information.
Yes, my grandfather was Iver Christensen Duedall born in Hoptrup. I travelled to Denmark in ~1980 and found his last name, in a church book in Abenrea, to be spelled "Dudal" not Duedahl. I do know that the spelling has changed over the years. I was unable to find solid information about Iver's father, although some records I have indicate that Iver's father's name was Christian Duedall. I have the Danish death certificate of Johanne Hellewadt, Christian Duedall's wife, who was my great grandmother. I believe that she died in Hoptrup.
Last year my brother and I met family members descended from Hans Duedall, half brother of Christian Duedall. We also do not know if Iver Christensen Duedall or his half brother Hans Christian Duedall ever made contact with each other or their father Christian Christensen Duedal.
New and important information from you that I am very grateful to receive:
Is that Christian Christiansen Duedahl came to America before my grandfather Iver Christensen Duedal (Duedall) was born and that you believe he died in Illinois. This warrants further investigation through the Illinois archive records.
Thank you for providing very valuable information. Regards, Iver Warren Duedall (grandson of Iver Christensen Duedall)

Message Board Post:
I just - coincidently - discovered this thread regarding the Duedahl family, and I just wanted to send you greetings from the Duedahl family in Denmark, and a few words about how we are related to one another:
Christian Christensen, who was born in Dallund Mill near Odense on Funen, was stationed at the castle Koldinghus in Jutland during his military service, and in Kolding he met a girl, Birthe Cathrine Poulsdatter. She became pregnant, and in 1782 they married.
She came from the poorest part of Denmark - the moor area in the middle of Jutland. They moved back home to her native region, and lived for several years in the small village - Fjederholt - and had several children.
The youngest son was named Laust Christiansen (called himself Laurids) and was born in 1798.
In 1804 the family bought the small moor farm, Duedahl, close to the village of Borris, and the farm became Laurids's childhood home - and today there is in fact a memorial stone there telling that this is where the Duedahl family come from.
Laurids was a talented young man and became a school teacher. As was typical of teachers of the time he named himself after his childhood home and was from now on known as Laurids Christiansen Duedahl. He graduated in 1821 and was a private teacher at the home of CD Koefoed, who was the owner of the manor Nørre Vosborg in Western Jutland and at the same time bishop in the old Viking town of Ribe.
Bishop Koefoed was a notorious womanizer and he made one of the maids - Elisabeth Christensdatter Skaderis - pregnant. He now asked Laurids to marry Elisabeth. In return, the bishop would make sure that they were offered a good position as teacher and a good place to live.
They agreed, and in 1825 they married in Ribe Cathedral. Some of the silver forks and spoons - whiche were the bishop's wedding gift - are still in the family's possession. Afterwards they traveled to the village of Hygum not far from the city of Vejle in the more prosperous part of Denmark at the time, where Laurids would be school teacher for several years. Laurids and Elisabeth had a happy marriage according to people who knew them. When she died, he in 1858 resigned and moved to a daughter and son-in-law, who was teacher in Taps close to the city, Kolding, and here he died in 1879.
Laurids and Elisabteh had altogether 10 children, including the son of the bishop.
Your ancestor is Christian Duedahl born on 15 March 1828 in Hygum School. He learned to make wheels for carriages (I don't remember the English word for this profession) and during his young years he on 2 January 1851 had a son, Hans Christian Duedahl, without getting married to the mother, Inger Marie Hansdatter Møller in Ødis near Kolding, and on 3 June 1854 he had another son, Ivar Christiansen Duedahl with Johanne Hellewadt from Hoptrup near Haderslev. As far as I know he and Johanne were married, but he left her as soon as he became a wheel-maker and left for Amerika before she gave birth. I only know that this last son, the only one, I heard of, that "the son traveled as an adult to find his father who nobody had never heard from, and he stayed over there, and no one has since heard from them" (according to Evald Tang Kristensen: Minder og Oplevelser, vol. 1, 1923). According to posts on the Internet their father - Christian Christiansen Duedahl - died in Illinois.
Christian's sister Else Katrine Duedahl, born 1829, is my ancestor - the children kept the name Duedahl.
A son Christen Duedahl, born 1835, traveled with his older brother Christian to America, but they separated in Chicago, when Christen returned to Denmark. He was later school teacher in Gelsted on Funen. He died in Copenhagen.
The youngest of the siblings was Frederikke Duedahl. She was born in 1840. In 1866, she married their cousin, the school teacher Evald Tang Kristensen, but she died the same year during birth. Evald Tang Kristensen is today better known as the greatest folklorists the world has ever known. In order to get over the tragic loss of his wife and son, he began and later dedicated his entire life to collecting Danish folklore. He published major works, and in the 1910s he also recorded a number of phonograph recordings of the voices and songs of ordinary people in Jutland in collaboration with the then young Australian-American composer Percy Grainger, who was his friend. Several biographies has been written about ETK - including at least one in English. It is also from his memoirs, I have most of the above information.
In his memoirs you will also find a photo from 1866 of Evald Tang Kristensen and his wife Frederikke Duedahl - Hans Christian's and Iver's famous uncle and aunt!
