NAME: The Danish naming pattern takes a father's given name and adds "sen" for a son, and "datter" for a daughter in Denmark. Thus, her surname became Mortensdatter, which evolved into Mortensen in the US.
Her paternal grandfather was named Mads Mortensen, which is how her father, Morten Madson, got his name. Presumably her father's given name was deliberate so the family returned to Mortensen as a surname.
