Petersen, Dorise 29 October 1829 25 April 1858 Valby Harth A. Alquist
H. P. Lund is probably Hans Peter Lund born 16 July 1821 and Christened 30 September 1821 Nekso, Bornholm, Denmark (KWJF-J6F). He joined the LDS Church in 1850. Hans was active in missionary work until emigrating to America in 1857 (http://devinthorpe.typepad.com/tdbbgw_family_history/files/gray-family_group_sheets.pdf). He was a company cook for the Horace S. Eldredge Company in 1858 at age 37 which arrived in Salt Lake, Utah 1 August 1858. Under his direction, 654 (or 657) LDS Saints sailed on the ship B.S. Kimball from Liverpool, England in 1863 (http://www.nhfelt.org/doc_directly/church_chronology.pdf). Hans joined the John R. Young Company in 1863 along with Hans and Doris Petersen. Hans died 19 June 1880 and is buried in the Huntsville Cemetery.
Harth A. Alquist does not appear on Pioneer Overland Travel - Alquist he was most likely a Denmark native and did not emigrate.

Godparents
Anna Margreta Sieversen - The spelling of the last name must be wrong since it doesn't show at all in census data. A search by the first two names produces a Anne Margreta Jorgensen living in St. Anne Baltic Quarter as a maid at the time of the 1840 census. Born 1810 she is 30 years old.
Magdalena Dorothea Schultz - Many Schultz to choose from. The most interesting is a widow Margaretha Schultz (born Lorenz) born 1788 living in Gluckstadt (southwest border of the county of Holstein) with two children Christian age 15 and Johann age 14.
Anna Margreta Heitmann - The 1835 Danish census lists 27 year old Anna Margreta Heitmann married to Friedrich Monkel, a shoemaker, and living in Molfsee (also the parish), 7 miles from Kiel in county of Holsten. They have four children between ages 13 and 3. Molfsee is just east of Westensee, the location of Doris's parents marriage. See danishfamilysearch.com. Film 2069 T1 F35 S 26
Prussia was a German kingdom and historic state from 1525 to 1947 which, at its peak included most of modern-day Germany, Poland, Lithuania and parts of Denmark and Russia.
Schleswig was a part of Denmark during the Viking Age, and became a Danish duchy in the 12th century. Denmark repeatedly tried to reintegrate the Duchy of Schleswig into the Danish kingdom. On March 27, 1848 Frederick VII of Denmark announced to the people of Schleswig the promulgation of a liberal constitution under which the duchy, while preserving its local autonomy, would become an integral part of Denmark. This led to an open uprising by Schleswig-Holstein's large German majority in support of independence from Denmark and of close association with the German Confederation. The military intervention of the Kingdom of Prussia supported the uprising: the Prussian army drove Denmark's troops from Schleswig and Holstein in the First Schleswig War of 1848?1851 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleswig-Holstein_Question).
In the excitement of 1848 a revolutionary group seizes Kiel, declares the independence of the two duchies from Denmark and appeals to the German Confederation for help. The result is an invasion of Schleswig-Holstein, and then of Denmark itself, by a Prussian army on behalf of the Confederation (http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?groupid=561&HistoryID=aa59>rack=pthc).
