1 The Storm Family Peder Pedersen Storm Just Pedersen Storm Peder Justesen Storm Frederik Christian Valdemar Storm Frederik Peter Evald Hinnerup Storm

2 This booklet is a biography of Peder Pedersen Storm and descendants. From the early 1970s to the mid 1990s my father Kai Madsen worked on the family tree of the Morell family and related branches. He compiled a number of booklets which were distributed to family members both in Denmark, Holland and in the US. This compendium is a translation of his work on the Storm family with additional comments and especially images. In general, pages consist of two sheets: a scan of my father's original text in Danish on one sheet and my translation on the next sheet. What I feel is missing in his work is the sources. Apart from frequently visits to national archives, Kai had great contacts to Preben Engsig-Karup, to Jay Larsen, Henning Kristensen and to Gerda Kristensen, who all contributed greatly. I wish to acknowledge Lise Larsen Pyles who has contributed with images scanned by husband Bill Pyles in San Antonio, Texas. Dublin, Ireland, January 2017 Poul Madsen (son of Kai Madsen)

6 - 3 - Slægten Storm Peder Pedersen Storm was born on the island Fyn around 1722.Having left school, he finished as an apprentice shoemaker around February On the 19 Nov 1751, aged 29, he married the then 18 y.o. Maria Elisabeth Thygesdatter (free translation: Thyge's daughter) Knabe in Assens Kirke (Assens Church). Having been married for seven years, they now had their first child and after twenty years they had in all seven children as follows: Anna Elisabeth born 20 Aug 1758 Maren - 28 Nov 1761 (died 19 Dec 1768) Just Pedersen Storm - 02 May 1766 Pernille - 03 Dec 1769 Maren - 16 Feb 1773 Tyge Pedersen Storm - 09 Apr 1775 Charlotte Elisabeth - 15 Mar 1778 According to the church book Anna Elisabeth carried her younger sister Charlotte Elisabeth at the baptism ceremony in church. At the census 1 Feb 1787 the family lived in Damgade 6 (translation: 6 Pond Street) in Assens. Here, the father had his shoemaker workshop. Only the youngest two children still lived at home. The mother died on 4 October 1787 aged 55 years, while the father Peder Pedersen Storm died on 13 Mar 1796 aged 74 years. He was buried on 18 March.

8 - 4 - Just Pedersen Storm was born on 2 May 1766 (pronounce his name Just as in Yoost). He was the son of shoemaker Peder Pedersen Storm and wife Maria Elisabeth Thygesdatter Knabe. Like his father, Just became shoemaker. On 12 Oct 1792 he was married to 28 years old Ane Jørgensdatter in Assens Church. On 1 July 1793 they had their first baby, a girl who was baptized Maria Elisabeth Justsdatter (Just's daughter). Two years later on 23 Aug 1795 Ane had a boy who was baptized Jørgen Justesen Storm. Three years went and then Ane on 27 July 1798 had twins (girls). On 16 Aug they were baptised Maren and Anne Margrethe. The girls however did not live till the end of the year. The year after Ane once again gave labour to twins, again girls. They were born on 14 Aug 1799 and baptized Dorthe Anne Margrethe and Edel Margrethe. Dorthe died on 18 Sept only one month old. Thus the family had lost 3 children within a year. According to the census of 1 February 1801 Just Pedersen Storm was a shoemaker and the family lived Korsgade 3 in Assens and that the family had 5 members; the parents and the children Marie Elisabeth, Jørgen and Edel Margrethe. Next year, on 29 September, Ane had a boy who was baptised Peder Justesen Storm. Both boys became shoemakers and travelled to Copenhagen where they settled down. The family possibly left Assens, which had many shoemakers. Where the family went is not known.

10 - 5 - Peder Justesen Storm was born on 29 Sept 1802 and was baptised in the church in Assens the same year. He had his Confirmation on the 15th Sunday after Easter 1817 and started apprenticeship as a shoemaker. Having completed apprenticeship, Peder travelled to Copenhagen, where he settled down. On 13 October 1827 his hometown sent him his certificate for birth, baptism, confirmation and vaccination. This certificate shown in appendix 2 he needed for applying for citizenship as a shoemaker. He received the certificate on 19 January 1828 (also shown in appendix 2). Later the same year on 12 August he was filed in the "Copulation protocol" and paid 4 Rigsbanksdaler (Danish currency before the Kroners) and 36 skilling (kind of shilling) in order to get married in Trinitatis Church to 29 y.o. Bertha Christine Rasmussen, born in Copenhagen. They settled down in Myntergade matricle nbr 44. Here, on 20 May 1829 Bertha had a boy who was baptised Frederik Christian Valdemar Storm. Four years later Bertha had another boy, who was named Just Emilius Harald Storm. The family moved to Skindergade nbr 8 (ground floor) (matricle nbr 23) where Peder established his workshop next to the family's appartment (the building is protected as a class B building and was renovated in 1977). By 1 February 1840 the family had four members plus a maid Sophie Gephardt and the then 16 y.o. apprentice shoemaker Hans Christian Holm. The same year the family on 1 October Peder hired the 36 y.o shoemaker J.Strers. It is not known how long Strers worked for Peder. Five years later, on 1 Februray 1845, the family had no maid according to the census. Instead the family had two apprentices, 19 y.o. Lorentz Tønnesen and 18 y.o. Carl Johan Kroll. By 1850 Valdemar had become musician and Harald had started as apprentice chimney sweeper. Apart from this the family included 21 y.o. apprentice Anders Frederiksen from Sonnerup. According to records, Valdemar and Harald still lived with their parents on 1 February 1855 and Peder employed two apprentices, 17. y.o. Adolf Ludvig Hellested and 18 y.o. Ferdinand Jørgensen. By 1 February 1860 the children have all left home and there are no apprentices employed. This could be interpreted the way that Peder had an shoemaker employed in his workshop. The family still lived Skindergade no. 8 and here Peder died on 9 August On 12 August Copenhageners could read the following on page 2 in the Address Newspaper (a directory perhaps):

Valdemar had a very musical talent. Having finished school he decided to become a musician and as such he was recorded at the census of 1850 while he was still living with his parents. At the military conscription on 20 March 1849 he got session no. 288, however he was found tiny and weak and was sent home in order to gain weight.

His height measured centimeters (about 5 foot 6 inches). In 1853 he got no. 977 and was assigned for the military reserves, where he was to do service at the infantery in It seems however that he never did military duty. According to the census records of 1 February 1860 Valdemar didn't live at home any longer (with his parents). On 9 November 1865 Valdemar paid 4 Rbd (Rigsbanks Daler, probably similar to Dollars) to become registered in the Copulation Protocol (a register for weddings of some sort). The next day, on the 10 November 1865, Royal Orchestra Musician F.C.Valdemar Storm was married at Garnison Church (military church) to Ane Petrine Frederikke Hinnerup. She was born on 24 June 1834 as daughter of Royal Mint (Coin) Master and Assay Master Peter Reimer Hinnerup and wife Inger Helene Tømmerbye. Best man was P.

Vilhemine's mother looked after the three girls while their parents were away. The children however were old enough to look after themselves, so the mother only needed to visit the apartment now and then to check that everything was fine. At the Royal Orchestra Frederik was promoted to solo flute player. On 26 October 1912 their daughter Inger, on her 20 years birthday, was wedded to officer at the Copenhagen Municipality Department Axel Christian Engsig-Karup and as the first of the three girls she left her family and home.

Royal Orchestra Musician Frederik Storm The diseased Solo Flute Player to be buried today Today, at Bispebjerg Krematorium the diseased Royal Orchestra Musician Frederik Storm is to be buried. Storm was a marvelous artist, an example to his fellow musicians. For many years he had a great influence playing at his important seat at operas as well as at the orchestra concerts, being brilliant technically and at his peak years about ten years ago before illness started to weaken him, his flute sound had a bright and lovely tune. Added to this, he was extremely distinguished in his way of playing music always disciplined in expression and always avoiding excessive emotions. And as genuine as he was as an artist, he was equally kind as a human, quiet in his attitude never interfering in daily strife or quarrel. But those who knew him, knew that this great and dignified man with his closed face which was like carved in wood, he kept a strong personality behind his disciplined mind, was an active and interested and skilled person with a great passion for his art. Frederik Storm was 63 years old. H.S. Funeral Retired Royal Orchestra Musician Frederik Storm. Yesterday, the retired Royal Orchestra Musician Frederik Storm was buried at the crematory at Bispebjerg. At the coffin, which was decorated with lovely flowers, the flower swept banners of the Orchestra Association waved and a great amount of beautiful wraiths along with signed decorations from the Director of the Double Stage Theatre and from the Royal Orchestra had been sent.

It looks however that Vilhemine (standing left) could be pregnant and Gerday was born April In front is Ella carrying a doll and Inger is sitting at the table.

32 The location of the above and below images is unknown. Sources say that the Storm family spent time in Hornbæk on the north coast of Zealand.

33 Image of Vilhemine with daughters Inger and Ella (right) washing up. Notice that Ella is holding a plate from the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain, same as on the photo of the family gathering in the dinning room (where Vilhemine is pregnant). The girls could be in their late teens, so perhaps the image was taken around 1910 Image of Vilhemine and Frederik with Ella (right) and Ella's sons Jay and Ewald. The image may have been taken late 1920s in connection with Ella visiting her parents in Copenhagen. Both images on this page courtesy by Lise Larsen Pyles.

34 Perhaps the last photo of Vilhemine and Frederik. Frederik looks like he has lost weight. He passed away It looks like the Circus Building in the background so maybe they are walking on Axeltorv (Axel Square) or Jernbanegade (Railway Street) in Copenhagen

35 Like his mother Ane Petrine Frederikke and grandfather Peter Reimer Hinnerup, Frederik had a talent for drawing. The images here are scans of a small note book he used for drafts.
