  • Notater 
    • In Danish records, the Vissing surname is routinely spelled both "Vissing" and "Wissing". The latter is not the traditional spelling, but is due to the influence of German in Denmark, where "W" in German is pronounced as a "V". Once the members of the family emigrated to the United States, they individually settled on a single spelling of the name, but not all of them chose the same. Everyone except Jacob chose "Vissing"; he alone chose "Wissing".
      Note: there is a similar issue for the spelling of "Vilhelm" vs. "Wilhelm".

      For WCA Vissing and his family, an overview of their joining the LDS Church and "emigrating to Zion" is somewhat complex. It appears that, as with many convert families, there may have not had the resources to allow the family to emigrate together, and although they all ended up emigrating to Utah, they travelled there in a rather piecemeal fashion. Due to factors like the variation in the spelling of their names, it is difficult to find records of the emigration.

      WCA and his wife joined the Church in early 1859. At this point, the only child they had was infant Marie Elisabeth. Normally, she would have been christened in the state Lutheran Church shortly after birth, but the birth register in Vejle's Sankt Nicolai parish only records the date of her birth (September of 1858) and notes that the parents are "Baptist", and thus they did not have the child christened in the Lutheran Church. This same pattern of not christening continued with all the subsequent children, with the exception that the register notes that the parents are either "Mormons" or members of the "Latter-day Saint Church".

      Interestingly, son Thomas Elin was christened in the Lutheran Church, as an adult, on the day before his marriage in 1884. (See Thomas' entry for more details.)

      All the children were baptized in the LDS Church as youngsters, at ages ranging from 8 to 12. (Josephine Brighamine's original baptism is not recorded.)

      1873 Marie Elisabeth
      The first emigration appears to be that of oldest daughter Marie Elisabeth. The book "Passport to Paradise: the Copenhagen Mormon passenger lists" is a compilation of both Church and ship records that identifies the emigration circumstances of early Saints in northern Europe (available online from the Family History Library). From searching that book, a clue is found that Marie Elisabeth emigrated in 1873 with another family, that of Jens Andersen of Aarhus. A possible explanation for this is that the Vissing family wanted to emigrate to Utah but did not have the means at that time. Perhaps the opportunity for them to send their daughter with another family presented itself, and they took advantage of the opportunity to send their daughter ahead of the rest of the family.

      There are several obstacles to correctly identifying Marie in the emigration records:
      - In "Passport", page 37, she is listed as "Marie Wissing Andersen" as though she were a child of that family.
      - The passenger list transcribes her name as "Maria Messing".
      - The passenger list gives her age as 11; she actually turned 15 a couple of months after arriving in SLC. (In fact, almost all the ages of the Andersen family given on the list are more than a year in error.)
      - The passenger list indicates the family is from Norway. (The clerk may have been just "lazy" or "ignorant". Given that the passage was in multiple stages, the family's origin may have not been readily apparent.)
      "Passport" indicates that Marie and the Andersen family left Copenhagen on 27 June 1873, in a company of 870 Saints split between two ships, the "Pacific" and the "Milo", which carried the group to Hull, England (very likely stopping in Norway en route). They transferred to Liverpool via train and then embarked on the "Wisconsin", leaving 02 July and arriving in New York on 15 July 1873. They then travelled via rail to Salt Lake City, arriving 24 July 1873.
      In the 1910 census, Marie gives her immigration year as 1871, but in 1900 she gives it as 1873.

      1881 Ane Johanne
      In "Passport" there is an entry for a "Christiane Wissing" of Vejle travelling in 1881 in the company with a widow "Mette Schulz", also of Vejle (no further record found of this "Mette"). The age given for "Christiane" exactly matches that of Ane Johanne Vissing. At the end of the book is a "Mission Index" which also has an entry for "Christiane Wissing" which gives a birth date of 29 Oct 1865. This also exactly matches Ane Johanne. In the 1900 census, she gives her immigration year as 1881. The passenger list has her name transcribed as "Christiane Wiesing" and incorrectly indicates her origin as "Sweden".
      Thus, Ane Johanne also travelled "alone" from her family, leaving Copenhagen 29 Aug 1881 on the "Pacific", transferring at Hull and then leaving Liverpool on 03 Sep on the "Wyoming", arriving in New York on 14 Sep 1881. She arrived at Salt Lake on 21 Sep 1881.

      1882 Josephine Brighamine
      In "Passport" there is an entry for "Josephine Wissing" of Vejle travelling with Maren Petersen of Vejle along with Maren's two children. Josephine is listed as her "stepdaughter". The age listed is within a couple years of Josephine's actual age. The transcribed passenger list (at Ancestry.com) gives her name as "Josephine B Wessing".
      They left Copenhagen 16 June 1882 on either the "Albano" or the "Bravo" and left Liverpool 21 June on the "Nevada", arriving in New York on 03 July 1882 (Passport says 02 July). Their final arrival in Salt Lake was 10 July 1882.

      1885 Jacob Busk
      In "Passport", the listing gives "Jacob Vissing" age 22 of Copenhagen. (The entire remaining family in Denmark appears to have moved from Vejle to København (Copenhagen) in about 1883.) On the passenger list, he is listed as "Jacob B Vissing". He leaves alone on 16 June 1885 aboard the "Panther", then from Liverpool aboard the "Wisconsin", arriving in New York 01 July 1885. (The account does not give the arrival date in Salt Lake.)

      1885 WCA Sr, Ane Johanne and WCA Jr
      A few months later, father WCA Sr., mother Ane Johanne, and youngest son WCA Jr. are finally able to emigrate.
      "Passport" lists them as "VCA" and "Anne" "Wissing". The passenger list (at Ancestry.com) has their names incorrectly transcribed as "VA Vrssang", "Anne J Vrssang" and "VCA Vrssang", also saying that they are of Norwegian origin. In Family Search, it is incorrectly transcribed as "VA Vessung" and "OCA Vessung". They sailed from Copenhagen aboard the "Bravo" on 15 Oct 1885. They sailed from Liverpool aboard the "Nevada" on 24 Oct and arrived in New York 05 November 1885.

      On this same ship, we also find the 4-year-old illegitimate daughter of Jacob Busk Vissing, Emma, travelling with her mother (Marie Sørensen) and grandmother Else. "Passport" has her incorrectly identified as "Ann Wissnag Sorensen" and the passenger list has them incorrectly identified as Else, Marie and "Annie" "Svenson" from "Gothenburg, Sweden"!

      1889 Thomas Elin
      Thomas Elin is the last to emigrate. In Copenhagen in 1884, he marries Caroline Frederikke Bastian and they have a child, Thomas Elin Jr. in 1886. The three of them then emigrate in 1889. They do not appear in "Passport". On the passenger list they appear as "TE Wissing" and "Caroline Wissing". They arrive in New York aboard the "Wisconsin" on 11 September 1889.
