This is the death certificate of my 3rd great-grandfather Herman August Thorup. He was born August 11, 1826 in Denmark. He passed away on August 20, 1907 at the age of 81 in Salt Lake City, Utah. I got this death certificate from the Utah State Archives.
This certificate lists his father as Lars C Thorup. My records show his father as Christian Larsen Thorup. I guess they are both right. The mother is listed as Johannah Holm. My record has her name as Johanne Katrine. Maybe Johannah is an Americanized version of her Danish name.
I wonder if his middle name comes from the month he was born?
