Note for: Ane Katrine Brahe Christensen, 20 SEP 1857 - 17 SEP 1888 Index

Baptism:
     Date:   1 NOV 1857
     Place:   Tved Church

Burial:
     Place:   Graven 16, Damsogn, Aarhus, Denmark

Individual Note:   Her name on the birth/baptismal records is Ane Cathrine Christensen.

Ane Katrine (Brahe Christensen) Sorensen died from after-effects of childbirth in 1888, within a year after her daughter Ane Katrine Bothilde was born. Her son Julius used the name Brahe as a middle name for all his sons. The origin of this name within the family is uncertain, as it has not been found on any baptismal records. It may have come from the area around Grenaa-Ebeltoft, according to our relative Bodil.

Is there a connection with famous Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe? At this point it is only an intriguing possibility. Read about him at the following web sites (or simply do an internet search for his name):
