The North American Descendants of Hans Nielsen and Anna Christina Matthiesen
Hans Nielsen (1812-1878) was a son of Niels Pedersen and Ingeborg Christensdatter, born at Janderup, Denmark. He married Anna Chris- tina Matthiesen in 1846 in what was then called Süder Lügum, Schleswig (now called Süderlügum in Jutland, West Germany), and they had seven children. Three of these seven remained in Denmark (although only one of the three married). The other four immigrated to America as follows: Christian immigrated about 1874 to Wisconsin and Minnesota, and moved to California about 1880; Mathias in 1880; Andreas in 1882, and Anton in 1889 (the last three brothes went directly to California to join Christian). Descendants and relatives lived in California and elsewhere. Some descendants immigrated to Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and elsewhere in Canada. Includes some ancestors in Denmark, and more descendants and rela- tives in Germany, Poland and elsewhere.
Fishes of the World
"Of all the literature I use while preparing field guides for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Nelson's Fishes of the World is, by far, the one I refer to most often. [This] book is a standard reference . . . I continue to use it extensively in the ichthyology courses I teach, particularly in laboratory sessions." -Kent E. Carpenter Old Dominion University "Fishes of the World is a unique and essential resource for anyone seriously interested in the diversity and evolution of fishes. The family accounts provide quick summaries of current knowledge on all groups of living fishes and many key fossil taxa. It is a required work for every student in my laboratory." -W...
Cyprinid Fishes
Among the fishes. a remarkably wide range ofbiological adaptations to diverse habitats has evolved. As weIl as living in the conventional habitats of lakes. ponds. rivers. rock pools and the open sea. fish have solved the problems of life in deserts. in the deep sea. in the cold Antarctic. and in warm waters of high alkalinity or of low oxygen. Along with these adaptations. we find the most impressive specializations of morphology. physiology and behaviour. For example we can marvel at the high-speed swimming of the marlins. sailfish and warm-blooded tunas. air breathing in catfish and lungfish. parental care in the mouth-brooding cichlids and viviparity in many sharks and toothcarps.
