Your site is inspiring! I'm a member of the Gilroy, California Historical Society, and a descendant of a Danish family who lived in Perth Amboy in the early 1900s. We visited your city in 1974 and visited at the family house, built by my grandfather. My late aunt mentioned other Perth Amboy buildings my grandfather built, and I'd like to learn about them in preparation for a return visit.
As a child I was told that, during the 1918 flu epidemic, the family camped out on a hillside to avoid contagion — like today's precautions about the Corona virus. I'm very interested in information about that topic too.
My grandparent's names are Laurs Christian Laursen and Betty Mathilde Laursen. My grandmother's widowed father lived with them, Jens Larsen Bruun.
I don't want any Perth Amboy history buff to do any research I could do myself, but I'd appreciate suggestions about where to look.
