This story is about the Klint family, which originates from Møgeltønder in Synderjylland, Denmark.
The story is mainly about two sons of Hans Simonsen Klint and Karen Klint. Simon Klint, captain, and Jens Klint, mate.
They both sailed on the Danish West Indies, from the Netherlands. There is good reason to believe that they sailed on slave ships.
Captain Simon Klint was co-owner of a plantation in Suriname, and they both owned their own house in Møgeltønder. Which suggests they were making good money. Houses that stand there to this day.
