Notes:

Per information from David A. Stapp.
He was christened at home on September 20, 1859 and then in church on October 23, 1859. His mother's cleansing was October 23, 1859. His godparents were Niels Jacobsen's daugher, Johanne Nielsen and Niels Jensen's daughter Johanne Nielsen and fisherman Peder Christensen, Bachelor and fisherman Soren Madsen all from Ron and Bachelor Joseph Willadsen of Osteragger.

Gravesite: He is buried next to his wife, Ane Sorensen, in Lyngby. Both tombstones no longer exist due to expansion needs plus the tombstones got old and worn.

There is a story told about Niels that he and two other fishers were in a storm the two others were scared to death. Niels told them that if God wanted to take him that there was nothing he could do, so he laid down in the middle of the boat and fell asleep.

Niels was a very strict Christian, believed to be Lutheran.

The house that Niels and his wife lived in still exists today. It is a summer residence.

He and his wife left Agger, Denmark because of flooding to their house. Many of the people of Agger moved to Lyngby.

Niels came to America in/around 1932 at the age of 70 to visit his two sons, Soren and Christian, who lived in Chicago.
