Daniel Struck, 1775 (VA) -1851 (KY), any relation to your tree? Seem to be quite some Strucks in Denmark and since Struck is not a Danish name, most likely with their origins South of the current border in Schleswig-Holstein, which used to be Danish counties until 1865. Since you already have an extensive tree on record, I'd recommend www.geni.com "World Tree", which with some luck - ties into some royal or cleric families - could take you back to ancient times like aro AD 700 - and certainly to your roots in the Old World. Yes, I know what you mean about doing the work the hard way. Haven't done it myself, but Per Kjellin, married to the aunt (mother's sister) of my mother created an extensive amount of data same way and privately had that printed up in a limited edition book covering data from aro 1600-1945 as readily available mainly via the Swedish church books. So I had a solid amount of data on my mother's side, when I got started 5-6 years ago. /Taro

Actually, all the first micro fiches of the Swedish church books was done by the LDS. They had a deal for free access against leaving free copies with the Swedish authorities. Now, those early BW films were later re-done in color by AD and digitized. That is where Sweden were - and still are - 10 years ahead of other EU nations. Only very recently has Germany started rendering free access to such digitized inf as it comes around piece by piece. Assume you got my private message, right? /Taro
