I actually read your name as Albrechtsen, it is quite common here in Denmark (where I am from) so I just assumed with my lazy eyes. Facinating how the migrant stories are so common in North America.
My wife and I had a lot to do with a relative from a part of my family that went to Canada in the last decade of the 19th century. She came to finish her education as a nurse in Denmark - to see the motherland and all! She found a British scientist and married him here in Copenhagen, but then she went back to Canada with him in a string :)
Okay. Well cool. The Copenhagen area is where our family originates, so there you go!
What's funny is, I was looking through a book of census records for the Copenhagen area and actually came across some families named Albrethsen. Our family had always held that the name was Americanized by the brothers, but it may very well be that they new these other people and changed it to that. I'd heard of Albrecht as a first name, but never Albreth. I wonder how that came about?
re: back to Canada
Sounds like true love to me. :)
I looked it up and found this: https://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Albreth
An alternative spelling of Albrekt or Albrecht...
And it was love indeed :)
