Deaths of Danes in USA, 1913-1916 and 1932
Information about the deaths of 2000 Danes were extracted from Danish-American newspapers and published in "Salomons Almanak: De Forenede Staters
Danske Alamanak, Haand-og Aarbog," 1915-1917, and "Yearbook for Danish-born Americans in U.S.A.," 1933. Details in this searchable database include
name, place of residence in USA, death date, age at death or birth date, birth place, memberships, and notes of genealogical importance. The deaths
occurred between October 1913 and September 1916, and January to December 1932. Exact dates of death were not always given, and I have added a year
estimate in square brackets. e.g. [1914?].
Although some additional details may be found in the Almanaks and Yearbook, the best source for further information should be the newspapers themselves.
Ask your local library about borrowing the newspapers by interlibrary loan. These Danish-American newspapers are at least some that were published:
Bien, San Francisco, California (1882-present)
Bikuben, Salt Lake City, Utah (1876-1935)
Chicago Posten, Chicago, Illinois (1881-1929)
Dannevirke, Cedar Falls, Iowa (1880-1951)
Danskeren, Blair, Nebraska (1892-1921)
Den Danske Pioneer, Omaha, Nebraska (1872-present)
Folkets Avis, Racine, Wisconsin (1876-1919)
Nordlyset, New York City, New York (1891-1953)
Revyen also known as Dansk Tidende, Chicago, Illinois (1895-1952)
St. Paul Tidende, St. Paul, Minnesota (1891-1927)
Ugebladet, Minneapolis, Minnesota (1881-1959)
Dødsfald af danskere, der boede i USA, 1913-1916 og 1932
Oplysninger om dødsfaldene af 2000 danskere i USA trakes ud af dansk-amerikanske aviser og udgaves på "Salomons Almanak: De Forenede Staters Danske Alamanak,
Haand-og Aarbog," 1915-1917, og "Yearbook for Danish-born Americans in U.S.A.," 1933. Detaljerne i denne database inkluderer navn, bopæl i USA, dødsdato,
alder eller fødselsdato, fødested, medlemskabe, og vigtige noter. Dødsfaldene skete mellem oktober 1913 og september 1916, og januar til december 1932.
Præcise dødsdatoer nævntes ikke altid; databasen udstiller de vurderede år som [1914?].
Selv om findes måske flere oplysninger i almanakkerne og årbogen, er aviserne de bedste kilder. Nogle af de dansk-amerikanske aviser vises på den ovennævnt list. Jeg
håber på, at nogle findes på Det Kongelige Bibliotek.
