I only know 9 generations, I shall deliver it in the "Nordic style" for extra flavor

Jamieson "James" Graham Christophersen
Christopher Graham Haroldsen
Harold Edward Martinusen
Martinus Jensen
Jens Christensen
Christen Jensen "Dahl" (from whence the surname)
Jens Christiansen "Andsager"
Christian Albrecht Augustsen
August Davidsen
(and presumably) David

I don't know where August comes from, he was a cavalry officer in southern Jutland around 1700, one of the 'Ryttere' of the local 'Rytterdistrikt'. He had at least 5 other sons, though I don't know if any of them have any living descendants. There are no male-line descendants that I know of still alive in Denmark, all his current descendants live in North America, mostly Illinois (the descendants of Christen Jensen)and Iowa (the descendants of his brother Hans Jensen).

It's possible, though at that time in the 1700s a lot of the Ryttere were Germans from Holstein. August is not a very Danish name though it isn't unknown in Denmark.
