Vilhelm Svendsen's family pedigree "Østerlarsker Slægter" (Østerlars
Parish Generations) was first published through the Bornholm
Genealogy Society in
1942; he did not stop at that point, he continued to research his
family line for the rest of his life. It is from this which comes
much of the information on the 'Svendsen-slægten af Bornholm'. He was
married to Anne Johanne Hartmann from Skive; and was a bank manager
for a private-bank in København.
