      3. Vestervig parish register: Moving out 14 May 1827, Peder Poulsen, 29, born in Heliigsoe, and Anne Kierstine Andersdatter, age 29, born in Vestervig. Left for Kirkegaard in Hurup (the name of the farm by the church). Hurup register indicates moving in from Vestervig 21 June 1827, Peder Poulsen, 29, and Ane Kierstine Andersdatter, 29.

      4. During 18 Feb 1829 probate of the estate of his father in Helligsø, Peder is listed as 32 and a farmer in Hurup. Probate court met again 12 Jun 1829 wherein Peder took over the guardianship of his unmarried sister Else Kirstine.

      4. The family farm was known as Roikjergaard or Roikjer farm. It was purchased by Peder Poulsen in 1849. In 1841 it belonged to Jens Andersen. Farm was divided in two, and one part 4A was sold to Poul Pedersen 29 Jul 1867, and 4Y sold to Anders Pedersen. See Family Search for this individual to see an old photo of the family farm. The farm was originally called Røjkjærand was bought about 1838 by our ancestor Peder Poulsen who died there in 1874. He apparently split the farm between two of his sons into Vester (West) and Oester (East) Røjkjær. The Vester farm would be in front of the house and the Oester would be more or less behind the house. This location was always used in church records and even tombstones for the family. The Vester farm went to the son Anders and the Oester farm went to Poul Pedersen, who was our ancestor who came to America. He apparently sold his half of the farm to pay for his way to America. The Vester farm remained with the Anders side and is in the hands of the Stephansen family who are descendants of Anders. The last resident of the farm was Poul Richardt Pedersen, who died in 2014 as a bachelor. Two years before he died, he sold the farm to the Stephansens, who are across the road at Ydbyvej 34. Claus is the current resident of the Stephansen farm and his parents Kaj and Ragnhild live in Hurup as of 2016.
