1.  Email from Rebecca Pederson, including link to family portrait (online at Green Square Copenhagen A/S):

On the back of the portrait was a typed letter telling who was in the painting.  It reads (and I am translating it) Portrait of the family Friedrichsen 1857 Father:  Erich David Niels Friedrichsen, immigrant from Germany Mother:  Maria Hansigne Christiane Brandt, born May 20, 1815, died March 17, 1895 Daughter:  Nicoline Cathrine Friedrichsen, born October 5, 1839, died March 30, 1912 Son:  Hans-Jørgen Oluf Friedrichsen, born November 8, 1842, death in America unknown Father lived in Ærøskøbing, and later with the family moved to Nordenbrogaard, Langeland.  Son moved to America circa 1865.
