Bjerre Herred Historical Map
Bjerre herred, Vejle amt, Denmark


The map to the left shows how the Raun family moved around within Bjerre herred. Anine Raun was born in the town of Bisholt near the shore of Horsens Fiord. The map shows "Vester og Øst Bisholt" (West and East Bisholt). Presumably she was born in West Bisholt, since it is within Skjold sogn (parish) where her birth was recorded. (Skjold Kirke is just to the south of Bisholt.)

Anine's father, Niels Pedersen Raun, was born somewhere within Nebsager sogn, where he was baptized (in Nebsager Kirke). Further to the southeast is Klakring sogn, where her mother, Rasmine Katrine Hansdatter, was baptized (in Klakring Kirke).

Bjerre herred is shown on the map as Bierge Herred.
