Notes:

Ancestor: Peter (Sr.) Juhl, b. 06 Apr 1847, Sorupholz(?),Schlewig-Holstein area, d. 20 Aug 1911, Mankato, Blue Earth County,Minnesota; son of Peter Juhl of Germany, as per his son, George Juhl,who gave information on the death certificate. George Juhl did notmention the name of Peter's mother however, and it is assumed thatPeter's mother must have died early in Germany perhaps since thechildren did not know her name. And we also have a photo of Peter'sheadstone that clearly gives the birth and death dates. So, there areno questions about the dates. Buried: 23 Aug 1911, Village ofNorthrup, Rutland Township, Martin County, Minnesota.
Peter's Wife: Hedwig Hattie Peterson, b. Oct 1848, Schleswig-Holsteinarea (census record), d. 12 Mar 1938, Martin County, Minnesota(death index); Her mother & father were both born in the Schleswig,Holstein area according to the 1910 U.S. Feberal Census records.Other spellings of her first name here in America that I've comeacross has been Hedwek or Hedwik. Her nick name was Hattie by thefamily.
Peter & Hedwig were married abt. 1877 per the 1900 U.S. Federal Censusrecords, possibly in Schleswig-Holstein (Sorupholz) area since thefamily did not emigrate until 14 June 1892 to America fromSchleswig-Holstein area out of Hamburg, Germany--to Davenport,Iowa---Ship: Columbia, from the Port of Hamburg;"Residence-Sorupholz, Schleswig, Germany"; 14 Jun 1892-Arrival NewYork, per the Hamburg Passenger Record; then to Davenport, ScottCounty, Iowa before 1900; and of course, he owned a farm in Minnesota.
All of the Children were born in Germany and All of the childrenmarried in America. The last known actual residence of the family waslisted in the ships records as, Sorupholz.

Dora Juhl, b. between 1893-1898, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany areaper census records and ships record, Dora married early and it wasdifficult to track her in the census records and the post cards I haveare all in German and I do not have a good handle on the name of herhusband here in America as yet. This Spring I hope to take the postcards to our German center and see if I can get them all translated.Then I should know more about the family.
NOTE: My husband's father was the above Peter H. Juhl. Peter Sr. wasabt. 64 yrs old when he died, and Peter H. was abt. 92 yrs old when hedied, and my husband is in his 70's now. So, this is a span of abt.230 years between just these three fellows so far, and with allgenealogy more research is required on the family as yet.

Peter's grandson, George Peter Juhl, did not know his grandparents,because they both died prior to George's birth. George has some postcards that have some information on them, and this is where most ofthe information we have at this time came from. The post cards arebeing stored in the Elkins-Juhl Genealogy Volume at the present time.An example: " A post card written in a few lines of German from Peter(Sr.) to his son Peter H. Juhl addressed to Granada, Minnesota dated:June 7, 1909 with a Minnesota stamp." Another post card from DoraJuhl was sent to Peter (Sr.) Juhl in Granada, Martin County,Minnesota, no date, with a one cent priced postage stamp that stateson the front of the card, "To My Dear Dad"; the notation that Dorawrote is in German on the back side of the card. Also, there are manypost cards from Dora and Anna to "Pet" or Peter H. Juhl, theirbrother. A few of the postcards written to Peter H. Juhl are from hisbrother George as well. A total of 35 post cards from family andfriends, at least 14 photo post cards, 38 older family photos, 4 phototins, ten letters available dating from the 1930's to 1975 primarilywritten between Peter and Florence Juhl, plus the funeral book ofPeter Juhl kept by his son George P. Juhl. [14 November 2004,SLJuhl, RNBSC, Compiler & Family Genealogist; sljuhl1234@yahoo.com]

On a photo of Peter (Sr.) Juhl grave stone there is thisinscription-"Peter Juhl, 6 April 1847, 20 Aug 1911, two sentences inGerman (not understood as yet), and then in block letters at the baseof the stone is JUHL., the bottom of the photo is inscribed withPeterson (probably the photographers), Fairmont, Minn." There is nodate on the photo [12 November 2004, SLJuhl RNBSC, Compiler &Genealgist].
Update: George was able to remember more information on his fatherPeter's (Pet) brothers and sisters, George, Nicholas, Dora, Anna, andwe were able to confirm it by the post cards that are available;George also said that there may be an Elmer Juhl, but he is not sure.George said he just knows that Elmer also lived in Minnesota with therest of them. Added the information on 16 Nov 2004. In a handwritten table note by Florence Hand Juhl after Peter Juhl's funeral inJuly 1970, she made a notation of what people had donated and broughtprobably to send out thank you notes to; Florence noted that Elmer andEarl Juhl were both at the funeral, but not exactly where they werefrom. Florence noted only, "Relatives Minnesota" [SLJuhl RNBSC,Compiler].

*Peter Juhl's mother must have died before his children had gotten toknow her otherwise George probably would have mentioned her name. Isuspect that Peter Juhl's father probably died the year before he cameto America with his family.

Hedwig was born on 12 Oct 1848 in Sorupholz (A Small Community From Sorup), Duchy Schleswig, Denmark (Now In The Schleswig Area Of Germany); died on 12 Mar 1938 in Martin County, Minnesota; Per Death Index For Martin County, Minnesota; was buried in Mar 1938 in Fairmont, Village Of Northrup, Rutland Township, Martin County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

We know from the post cards that she was living in Northrop with PeterJuhl (Jr.) and with Dora Juhl in Northrup as well at different times.Example: Post card dated December 28th, 1923 from Monmouth, Iowa, toPeter Juhl Northrop, Minnesota, Box 45, Martin County, Anna to Dearbrother (Peter), "how's Mother...we are planning to move back up byJoy sometime this winter..." [Transcribed 14 Nov 2004, SLJuhl,compiler].

Other variations seen on records of Hedwig's first name have been:Hedwek, Hedwik.

The U.S. Census Records 1900 Scott County, Davenport, Iowa gives usmore details about Hedwek Juhl. She and her husband Peter Juhl hadeight children who were all born in Germany with six living at thetime of the census. Only three were listed on the census as stillbeing at home, George, Hans Nicholas, and Anna. They immigratedtogether in 1892 with their family to Davenport, Iowa. In 1877, theywere both 23 years old when they had been married. And, since theirson Peter was born in Hamburg, Germany 1877, and we know it to be alarge shipping port for Northern Germany, we will assume that is wherethey had also lived prior to immigration. Also, at the time of thecensus they had lived in Davenport, Iowa for 8 years. (A copy of itis in the Juhl/Elkins Family Volume.) In the U.S. Census for 1910 forMartin County, Minnesota, nearly the same information is given abouther, and she is referred to as "Hattie [Transcribed 20 Nov.2004-S.L.Juhl, compiler]".

See notes on Hedwek Hattie Juhl.

Notes:

Peter (Sr.) Juhl's son George Juhl knew the name of his grandfather,Hans Peter Juhl, (per death certificate), and thus possibly knew hisgrandfather as a young person and it would seem then that Hans Peter(I) Juhl may have died in or near probably the Sorup area of the DuchySchleswig, Denmark, now in the Schleswig area in Germany, where thefamily had been living prior to their emigration to theU.S.A.--America in 1892.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON ORIGINS OF THE FAMILY: "As a matter of trivia, theterm "Holstein" derives from the Old Norse and Old Saxon, HolsetaLand, meaning simply "Woodland". Originally, it referred to thecentral of the three Saxon tribes north of the Elbe river, Tedmarsgoi,Holcetae, and Sturmarii. The area of the Holcetae was between the St?rRiver and Hamburg, after Christianization their main church was inSchenefeld.
The term Schleswig takes its name from the city of Schleswig. The namederives from the Schlei inlet in the east and viking meaning inlet orsettlement in Old Saxon and Old Norse." Internet Source:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleswig-Holstein

Hedwig Juhl stated that her and her parents were from the Schleswigarea in the 1920 census records for Martin County, Minnesota, andPeter H. Juhl, stated on the census this is where he also was born,however it was noted that the census recorder began to write down alsoHolstein, but wrote "GER" over the word Holstein on the record. The"Hol" can be seen just beneath the "GER" in the writing. The "Hol"probably noted a reference to Holstein. Peter H. Juhl is living withHedwig at this time, and the same thing is written for him as well inall three catagories of his and his parents origins. Peter is HedwigJuhl's oldest son. Then it was noted that Meta Juhl Stoltenburg hadstated that she was from Holstein, Germany on the Martin County,Minnesota 1920 census record as well, and this is where she was bornalso, and that this is where her parents were born. Meta & Peter arebrother and sister, siblings. The compiler then concludes that thefamily is probably from near or in the Schleswig-Holstein provinceoriginally.

"DAVENPORT MONUMENT RETURNS--German freedom fighters' memorial etchedin stone--...The stone will serve as a memorial to the German 48s, whobattled for freedom in their homeland of Schleswig-Holstein in 1848,1849, and 1850. The original Davenport monument honoring the 48s wentmissing amid anti-German fervor during World War I. ...The DavenportGerman 48s battled oppressive forces in their homeland ofSchleswig-Holstein while fighting for their right to live as they sawfit. Many veterans of that fight that began in 1848 left the regionand found freedom in the United States, some of them in Davenport.This Sunday, a 12 ton stone is being dedicated in honor of those men,90 years after the original memorial went missing during anti-Germanfervor in Worl War I. ... About 200 men settled in Davenportfollowing the fighting that ended with compromise in 1851 and 1852between German forces and neighbor Denmark. ...Denmark finallyconceded its claims on Schleswig in 1864. The society recognized theveterans by placing a red granite marker in Washington Square(Davenport) on March 24, 1898. ---American/Schleswig-HolsteinHeritage Society, or ASHHS---"Many of those gentlemen were members ofthe Schuetzenpark Gilde, ...etc..."
NOTE: The article is very interesting since Peter (Sr.) Juhl and theJuhl Family were living in Davenport, Scott County, Iowa when thefirst monument was dedicated in 1898, and they also were from the verysame area of Denmark/Germany of Schleswig-Holstein. In 1898, therewas a large community of Scandinavian Germans living in Davenport,Iowa who had steadily immigrated to the Davenport, Iowa area since theabove mentioned War of 1848-1852.
The history dates of the article also confirm the where abouts of thefamily in the Schleswig-Holstein with the birth dates of Hans Peter(I) and Peter (Sr.) Juhl since they are of possibly Scandinaviannativity rather than German nativity. Peter H. Juhl and his siblingswere born in, what by their births, indicated Schleswig-Holstein,Germany, because they were all born after 1864, confirming theirPrussian/German nativity; The Juhl Family lived in the same land areaof Schleswig-Holstein for many years, but with the War of 1848-1852,the ownership of the area had changed from Denmark to Germany.
Summary: Officially, Hans Peter and Peter Sr. Juhl were bothconsidered officially to have Denmark (Danish) nativity, but Peter H.Juhl and his siblings were officially of Prussian/German nativity,even if all of them considered themselves to be either of a German orScandinavia culture. It is confusing also since Prussia and Austriawere also involved in the boundary disputes. Much more research isrequired to ferrot out the actual nativity questions of all of theearliest known family members.
The above explanation probably held true for the Peterson's and manyother families of Scandinavian German origin also living in theDavenport, Scott County, Iowa area.

In 1864, Denmark ceded Schleswig (which the Danes call Slesvig) and
Holstein to Prussia and Austria (both came in 1866 to Prussia, andwere
included in the unification of 1871).

HISTORY OF SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, GERMANY
SOURCE INTERNET SITE: http://www.numismondo.com/pm/sch/
"The allocation of Holstein to Germany was never questioned by theDanes,
Schleswig was contested. Originally - in the middle ages - Danishland,
during the 16th to 18th century Schleswig and Holstein had a commonhistory,
separate from and often in conflict with Denmark. The commonparliament of
Schleswig-Holstein chose (lower) German as their official language,and a
considerable segment of the Schleswig population developed, over the
centuries, a Schleswig-Holsteinish / German identity, while aconsiderable
part of the peasantry, especially in the northern section ofSchleswig, felt
Danish.
Thus, the Schleswigers in the 19th century, were split in a camp witha
German, and a camp with a Danish identity (actually there is a third,
Northern Frisian camp). The treaty of 1864 foresaw the questioning ofthe
population of Northern Schleswig by plebiscite (if they wanted theirland to
be part of Germany or Denmark); the Germans failed to hold thatplebiscite.
After Germany lost WW I (in which Denmark took no part) thatplebiscite
was enforced, only in parts of Schleswig. Two thirds of Schleswigremained
German, with the city which gave the area her name; the northernsection was
separated and united with Denmark. The area remaining with Germany iscalled
S?nderjylland by the Danes; the German Bundesland Schleswig-Holsteinhas a
Danish minority, which is guaranteed a seat in the state legislature.
