My name is Otto Jensen! Through quite many years I have made it my hobby to research into my family relations and to work with different items of the local history of the area of Thy and Han Herred, Denmark. Via this and my Denmark-based website I would like to present some of the things I am working with. Search this site:

New 2005/01/15: New site on the local history of Han Herred:
Index on Han Herred:
Along with my work of indexing subjects of the newspaper "Thisted Amts Tidende" with relation to the municipality of Thisted (more info below), I have made an index on scattered information on the area of Han Herred.
 In order to make it possible to search for pictures and other illustrations in the yearbook "Han Herred Bogen", I have made an index on illustrations. Here you can get access to the whole index for the period 1996-2006 (PDF in Danish): You must use Acrobat Reader to read the file - get it here:
Fjerritslev:
While reading a well illustrated book from 1917 on the town of Fjerritslev and other towns in the region, I have scanned some old pictures of Fjerritslev. More old pictures from Fjerritslev here: Klim: A first time collection of published literature on Klim, including newspaper articles: History: As a source for some of my other articles on this site Ingvard Jakobsen and I have written an article on the the historical development of the parish of Klim and the parish of Vesløs. Limestone quarries of Klim: In Klim, a small village in the western part of Han Herred, there were several limestone quarries from the second half of the 19'th Century till around 1950. In 1993 I wrote an article to the yearbook "Historisk årbog for Thy og Vester Han Herred", in which I told the story of the limestone quarry on Klim Kobakke (located west of the village).
 You can read about some of the other limestone quarries in the collection of old pictures from Klim: If you want to read more about limestone quarries in Denmark (in Danish) you should try this link: Pictures of Klim: Together with Peter Grishauge I have built up a web-based collection of pictures from Klim: Slettestrand: Site on coasting vessels of Slettestrand (DK): Jesper Kinch Andersens hjemmeside
