Background for my research

The Millinge Family is not my own family, but the family of a Californian friend – hence my attempt to do this part of my homepage in English.

When I started to dig into the archives I was quickly spellbound by the fantastic stories about a family with strong individuals and very different destinies.

I concentrated on two tracks:

Rasmus and Peter Hansen Millinge

The first track took place in the nineteenth century and is the story about the 2 Millinge brothers, Rasmus and Peter, who both left the Fuen clay and settled down in Copenhagen. Both were employed by the Danish Royal Family – one as a Footman and the other as a Coachman. Both were knighted (Ridder af Dannebrog) – a very prestigious title in Denmark.

Sophie, Nicolette and Johanne Hansen Millinge

The second track is about the next generation – the 3 Millinge sisters (daughters of the youngest brother Peter).

Sophie who stayed with her mother all her life and worked at Wilhelm Hansen in Gothersgade for more than three decades while putting money aside for an early retirement.

Nicolette who married into high society Copenhagen and became “fru Grosserer Hamann”. She became a widow at a young age and continued to share home with her stepson Holger Hamann for 33 years until his death. She also adopted 2 daughters while in her 40s.

Johanne who gave birth to Harriet when she was only 18 years. Later (around 1900) Johanne married Einar Nielsen and together they emigrated to America. 1907 Harriet joined them there at the age of only 15 years.
Today Harriet and her descendants are the only blood-related descendants from Peter Hansen Millinge.
