Hi-
This is not so much an answer as an aside.My grandmother Lena J hansen came to Modesto from Elgin, Il about 1920 and
remained in Modesto. She originally came from DMK, Lolland Island, b. 1870-d 1949.Her father was Hans Olesen, b. 1844 in Stokkemarke parish, Maribo, Lolland Is. and his father was Ole Rasmussen, b. same place.But what I wanted to emphasize was there were a number of Danish in Stanislaus Co. came there in early 1900s.My gm would stay above the creamery on 10th street, (c.1910) while buying land and other Danes would do the same.Also, there was the Escalon bakery,creamery owned by Mr. Bentzen (sp?).Have you tried obtaining any records from the Dania Hall in Modesto on I street?I was able to get some records from parish records by going on google and putting in name with a few particulars-the citizens there are very helpful.
Hope this gives you some ideas,
