Einers Family History

On Einers mother side (Kristin Einarsdottir)she is from Loftsalir, Dyrholar ( Hole in the Wall) Vesterskaftafell (west Skaftefell), Iceland. His mother was Born in Iceland and converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She emigrated with a small group of Saints to Utah meeting Einer's father. I will follow up on Einer's mother Kristin later.
I want to follow Einers father on this particular blog. Einers father was Micheal Christian Christensen who was born in Denmark in 1823. This line I have found a lot of confusion in New.Familysearch.org. So I wanted to make sure that if you are a descendant of Einer Christensen this blog will outline his Family history but also share stories from Einers life that will I believe make him come alive for you.

Einer was born in Spanish Fork, Utah on October 5, 1882 and he died in Payson, Utah on April 20, 1965. Einers father was born on June 3, 1823 in Store Ajstrup, Aalborg, Denmark. His Christening record states his name as Mikkel Christian Christensen whose parents were Christen Andersen and Ane Kirstine Bertelsdatter. Micheal had two brothers and two sisters all born in different places. His mother was from the Farso Parish in Aalborg County Denmark and this is where Christen and Ane spent most of their later years. Their oldest son was Anders named for his Grandfather Anders Jacobsen. Most Danish children were given names of a close relative. Christen and Ane's second son was named Bertel after Ane's father Bertel Andersen. They had a daughter who was older than Micheal whose name was Ane Kirstine after her mother. She was the only child born in Farso Aalborg Denmark. Their youngest daughter Grace was born in Store Ajstrup after Michael. She does not show up on any records after this point so she probably died. Her death record is not available or we have not found it yet.

This is a good start for now. I will follow up with Einers father Christens Andersen and who his parents possibly are. Please feel free to ask me questions or to share any research you may have on Einer and his family.
