Gerson Joel Ballin was the son of the merchant Joel Joseph Ballin
who settled in Horsens ca. 1784 after receiving a royal permission
to do so.

I have been researching the Danish branches of the Ballin-family
and found a lot of material I would like to share with Henry Cohen
and others.

Gerson is not listed in the 1787-census of Horsens but his father
and family are:
http://www.jewishgen.org/scandinavia/1787horsens-us.htm

But Gerson is on the 1801-census of Horsens, and he was no doubt
born there ca. 1800. The census can be found on the Danish Demographic
Database (online searchable databases):

http://ddd.dda.dk/ddd_en.htm

but here is the listing for the familiy in 1801:

Census 1801, Skanderborg County, Horsens Town,
Address: Søndergade Nordre Side, 118, 82.

Henry,

If your Marcus is Marcus Magnus Lublin I have a record >from him at

from the Cemetery Records in Nakskov. Marcus Magnus Lublin bricklayer

in Sakskobing, born 19 July 1819 and died in Sakskobing 7 April 1901.

His wife Sara is Sara LUBLIN nee LUBLIN died at age 53 on 8 Mar 1862.

Just above them in the listing is the mother of Marcus--Gitte LUBLIN
nee HEIMANN / HEYMANN. (Gitte is a form of Brigitte so this is
probably where your Hanne got her middle name.) Gitte was married to
Magnus Samuel LUBLIN (dates still unknown).

If you are interested in any more information--I'm researching LUBLIN
family. Take a look at the Cemetery Records online and you will find
a number of entries for LUBLIN family.

Sincerely,

Tracy Zappala, Eugene, Oregon, USA

I don't know if any of you are in Toronto but there was/is a
Danish-Jewish family here called Balin/Ballin. I don't know
the exact spelling because they were friends with my late parents.

I am not in contact with them currently but I do know people who
know them. FYI

My great grandparents were Siegfriedt BALLIN born in Randers
on the 6th November 1841 and Hanna Birgithe (or Birgitte) LUBLIN
born in Sakskobing on the 9th September 1843.

They came to England (whether separately or together I do not know)
and were married in Southampton Synagogue on the 8th September 1869
According to the marriage certificate Siegfriedt's father was
Gerson Joel BALLIN who was a Wadding Manufacturer and Hanne's father
was Marcus LUBLIN who was a Builder.

I have subsequently ascertained that Marcus was married to Sara (family
name unknown) and had a brother called Ludvig.

I have also ascertained that there are people called BALLIN and LUBLIN
buried in the Mollegarde Cemetry and the Kirkgarde Cemetry.

Does anyone know how I can ascertain the names of these to see if I can
trace my families further back.
