Knut and Elizabeth Schöldberg's children and grandchildren married into a number of other families such as the Steward, Holloway, and Knowles families and Our Jordan Family web pages provides some information about these families also.
Your primary author and webmaster for Our Jordan Family web pages is Dave Jordan, gg-grandson of Knut and Elizabeth Schöldberg. Dave's been researching his Jordan line since 1975 and there have been many twists and turns and surprises along the way.
So come join us in 19th century Poplar, a bustling, cosmopolitan port on the Thames. It is here that my g-grandfather was born in 1868 just a short distance from East and West India Docks. Traces of the family started arriving in Poplar as early as 1825 and were there for 60-70 years. Then some began a journey to the New World and new lives and a few were among the first arrivals at the newly opened Ellis Island in 1893.
