Five thousand seven hundred and eighty five years following the creation of the world, in the year 1836 to be precise, is when I was born. It was the 3rd of June in the town of Vallebo which was in Faxe Parish, Præstø County, Faxe Township. We were under the jurisdiction of the police station in Storehedding which was in Stevns Township and situated on the Rosendal tract which was land in the possession of Count Holk Winterfeldt. He was also bestowed the title of chamberlain and when he was all decked out in his regalia he would wear a coat that bore the insignia of two large gilded keys about 9-10 inches in length and which signified that he was the keeper of the keys to the treasury. My parents were farmers but they didn't own the farm on which they lived, they were as a matter of fact in a life long rental agreement. The property, consisting of buildings and the land also included four horses that were to be returned upon the death of the renter. However, traditionally one of the renter's children would inherit the farm as well as the rental agreement of their parents, with a higher interest rate of course. My father had made a deal with the local lord to deliver
