Found a precious little boy

 My second great-grandmother, Ane Nielsen, joined the church in Denmark in 1858. Her second cousin, Peder Jensen, had a fairly large family. In the middle 1950's much of the family temple work was done for Peder Jensen's family, including their youngest child, Martin Emil Jensen. Martin was 14 when he died. His mother, Ane Kirstine Pedersen was 46 years old when he was born, and 60 when he died. Martin's next younger brother, Johannes, died  eight years before this, in 1905, as an eight year old. This certainly was a hardship for Peder and Ane Kirstine Jensen.

Upon examining this family in FamilySearch, I discovered a few of the children in the family who had not been entered into the system, or had not had their temple work completed back in the 1950's. However, I also noticed that there was a gap in the record between the birth of Johannes and his younger sister, Maren. In searching the records today, I discovered a record of another child, a boy, who was born in 1893 when his mother was 42. This infant boy lived only 17 days and died. No name was recorded. There was nothing in the FamilySearch records about this child, so I added him to the family. 

This little boy can now be sealed to his family.

It is interesting to note that this little boy died in Denmark only a few weeks before the death of Ane Nielsen's husband, Hans Sorensen, who died from the effects of imprisonment in Utah.

These relatives, who lived in different parts of the world, some with the restored Gospel in their lives, and others not, both suffered from the difficulties of this life. All will receive comfort and blessings in the life to come.
