Our
Paul and Jensen Ancestors
Many, many cousins have contributed to the information which has
been compiled
here. While it would be proper for me to credit each and every
contributor
individually, I am reluctant to do so for fear that my aging mind would
fail me in the crediting of many who have graciously participated over
the past 25 or more years. My heartfelt thanks goes to
all who have
contributed and thus made these pages more comprehensive.

The genealogical information contained in
these pages
is presented in two different formats.
Some pages contain the family ancestors
(commonly called "Ahnentafel" or direct lineage reports) on both the
male
and female lines of our marriage. The primary paternal ancestral
surnames
are PAUL and JENSEN, but other ancestral surnames that appear with any
frequency are noted below. Click
the
appropriate link for the
direct lineage ancestors of the
male
(Paul) line or for the direct lineage ancestors of the female
(Jensen) line.
Other pages are devoted to the
descendants
(all compiled descendants) of a given family line progenitor. To view
the
descendant pages, click on the appropriate family link below (listed
alphabetically):

of Dundridge, co. Bucks, England, who died before 13 April 1537.

who, with his son John, arrived at the North American continent on the
"Mayflower" in 1620.
Descendants (7 generations) of Tor HAUG
(GULLICKSON family line), who lived in Norway. He married Anne
Gullicksdtr
Bergen and died in 1657.

who married Sarah Mosier/Mosher (who has lineage back to the
"Mayflower").
Descendants (5 generations) of Nathaniel MITCHELL.
His grandson, John Hollen Mitchell, married Caroline Baldwin,
who's
ancestry has been better documented through the years than this
Mitchell
line, thus those with Mitchell connections here will also want to
review
the Baldwin pages. (Updated 11 May 2003)
Descendants (9 generations) of John MOSHER,
born circa 1600. The surname later changed to MOSIER.
The Mosher/Mosier connection to the "Mayflower" may be seen on the
COOKE
pages above (the marriage of Nicholas Mosher and Rebecca Wilcox).
(Updated
24 February 2004)
Descendants (9 generations) of Daniel PAUL
who arrived on the North American continent in 1640 on his own ship
"Experience"
and settled in Kittery (now Eliot), Maine. View the St.
Clements Church, Ipswich, England, where Daniel Paul was baptized
on
24 Feb 1590/91. View a map showing the site
of
his homestead at Kittery, Maine. View the home
built by descendant Moses Paul in 1780 at Eliot, Maine, which has been
restored and is now a B&B, The Moses Paul Inn. No, you will NOT
find a connection here to John Paul who later changed his name to John
Paul Jones - but here is a link
to a web page containing information about him (use your browser 'Back'
button to return to these pages). (Updated 26 May 2003)
Descendants (5 generations) of Jacob Andrew PETRY,

&
St. Andrew Church, Pitminster, England, (which is still being used)
where Richard Treat was baptized on 28 August 1584.

Surname Maps
It is interesting to see the distribution and
frequency
of a given surname across the United States. Some surnames are known to
be common -- but one might be surprised at just how frequently
any
particular surname being researched occurs. By using the link below,
you
can access a web site from which you can create a map of the United
States
indicating both the frequency and the distribution of a surname in
which
you are interested. The database includes the 1850 census, the 1880
census,
the 1920 census, and data from telephone listings in 1990 - but the
most
interesting approach is to choose the option "All Years" and view an
animated
map of all the data and thus view the expansion and changes in
frequencies
of the surname across the United States. The surname map graphics are
copyrighted
and my request for permission to post the maps of interest to the names
in these pages was denied. It is, none-the-less, worth your time to
take
a look. You will have to use your browser "Back" button to return to

Your Name
You got it from your
father,
it was all he had to give, so it's yours to keep and cherish, for as
long
as you shall live.
If you lose the watch
he
gave you, it can always be replaced, but a black mark on your name,
Son,
can never be erased.
It was clean the day
you
took it, and a worthy name to bear. When he took it from his father,
there
was no dishonor there.
So make sure you
guard it
wisely, after all is said and done, you'll be glad the name is
spotless,
when you give it to your son.
--Edgar Albert Guest
(1881-1959)
