Miriam "Minnie" Des Forges (nee Nielsen) is my great-great grandmother. She was born 12 December 1859 at Stege ( Storstrom) Denmark. She arrived in New Zealand in January 1875. She married Francis Des Forges (1856-1942) 0n 5 February 1879 at Marton. They had 11 children. She passed away at Opunake (Taranaki) 20 December, 1938. I descend from Minnie's daughter Maud F. Des Forges ( 1883-1951).
