The work with the latest edition of the genealogy for the family of Pierre la Cour was initiated in the summer of 2019 and the book was published in early October 2020. It consists of two volumes. The first Volume encompasses 1st – 6th generatoon and the second volume encompasses 7th – 11th generation. In total the two volumes confains biographies of 5,902 persons (1,282 more then the 2011 edition) and there are pictures of 2,481 relatives (more than 600 more than the 2011 edition). The book is also in a smaller and more managable format than the 2001 and 2011 editions and measure 18 x 25.5 cm.
The Danish version of Volume 1 has 392 pages and contains biographies of 1,112 persons from our ancestor Pierre until and including his great-great-great grandchildren and their spouses, as well as pictures of 571 of these. The division in two volumes have anabled us to have more and larger pictures than in the previous editions. Since all execpt a handfull of the persons included in this volume are deceased, no changes are expected hereto and consequently an English translation is under preparation. This will hopefully be published in the winter of 2021.
Volume 2 has 580 pages and contains biographies of 4,790 persons from 7th to 11th generation as well as pictures of 1,910 of these. For the sake of completeness we do also include the names and dates of birth and death for the first 6 generations, and the index contains the names of all 5,902 known decendants (including spouses) of Pierre. This volume is mainly in Danish, but the biographies of a number of non-danes, who submitted their biographies in English, have been kept in English. As the text of this volume will change a lot in a later edition, we will not be translating this to English.
