Hi De,
Sorensen would be Sørensen in danish. It is rather common with the name
Petersen, Nielsen, Jensen and so on. It is the first name of a person with
sen in the end. Sen means son. Sørens son, Henriks son and so on.
Tias is a rare name, dont you think it could have ben a name someone had
buyed?
Danish laces ah yes, i have many experiments with these
The danish laces are called Tønder laces, after a city in the south of
Jutland. In this county there used to live thousinds of lacemakers back in
18th century, and there was an industry since the 17th century and
documentation also that it was made there in 16th century. They always made
laces after the fashion, f.instance when Arras laces was fashionable, they
made Arras, Lille in fashion, they made Lille and so on.
The laces most people think about today, when thinking Tønder laces, are
tulle ground laces with floral patterns. These were made from end of 18th
century till well into the 20th century. One of the best books about some
danish patterns would be:
Johanne Nyrup Larsen: Knipling efter tegning. (Lace made from drawings)
Inge Wind Skovgaard: Tønderkniplinger I- and II. The last 30 years the
lacemaking has become a renaissance here, many young people wants to learn.
I am afraid that you will have some troubble in finding english books on the
subjekt but if you are interrested, i am willing to send you some patterns
if you like.
Bjarne

Subject: [h-cost] Sorenson OT +
I wonder how common Sorenson is. I know of many in Minnesota and a few in
Missouri.
Interestingly, in trying to search for the name Tias, I was told to try
Denmark. As yet this seemingly obscure surname doesn't seem to be Danish.
Doesn't seem to be any nationality.:P
And speaking of Danish, Has anyone made Danish lace and is there a
recommended book on how to do it?

My great-grandfather's family
(Sorensen) was also from Denmark and I'm finally doing some genealogy
research with an aunt.
