We found the sexton early this morning in the Svendborg Cemetery, who located the point of burial of Janis's uncle for us. However, it turns out that if the family has not prepaid or continues to pay the upkeep fees, then head stones are removed and the plot is rented to someone else. The burial spot for Janis' uncle is currently under a row of hedges. We then went to Maribo to see if we could find ancestors there (1850's vintage). Same situation, too old, everyone has been so helpful. This trip to Maribo required a ferry crossing; these people are good at running ferries. Interesting country side, big grain producers and hog farms. They also have some great bridges. Has taken me a little while to learn the speed limit routine. However, it is the same as in Utah (I.e. Normal travel is 10% over the posted speed limit).
