Notes - Research status (11 Aug 2026): Father and mother remain unknown. The patronymic Jørgensen indicates only that his father was probably named Jørgen; no specific person has been identified. The Astrup register names Hans Jørgensen of Vester Skovhus when he was betrothed to Birgitte Jensdatter of Tisted on 22 May 1712; they married on 9 Oct 1712. Their children’s baptisms place the family at Vester Schilling in 1713, 1714, 1716 and 1722. The Lovnkær/Rostrup baptisms from 1743 onward concern a separate same-name family and must not be used for this person. No source yet proves Hans’s parentage.
- Astrup parish register, 1712: Hans Jørgensen of Vester Skovhus and Birgitte Jensdatter of Tisted were betrothed on 22 May 1712 and married on 9 Oct 1712. The entry confirms the couple but does not name Hans’s parents. Vester Schilling is recorded later in their children’s baptisms, not in this marriage entry.
- Same-name control (13 Aug 2026): a Visborggård lease dated 1 May 1762 concerns Hans Jørgensen Skoemager in Visborg and names a son Jørgen Hansen. His probate, begun 17 Apr 1773, names widow Mette Christensdatter, no surviving children, brother Erich Jørgensen in Fugelholt, and sister Anne Johanne Jørgensdatter serving at Uldborg præstegård. The chronology favors the later Lovnkær Hans rather than this Astrup man: Lovnkær son Jørgen, baptized 1744, was about 17 in 1762, whereas this family’s Jørgen was about 47; probable Astrup son Jens survived to 1786. Do not merge or attach the Visborg records to I7562 without a bridging record.
