Christensen Brick Wall

For those of you related to Einer Christensen you may realize there is a dead end after Christen Andersen. I have done some research and have a possible birth date for Christen Andersen with birth parents. I will provide a brief look at where the search for the ancestors of Einer Christensen ends.

The first census in Denmark that provides good information for the families that lived in Denmark was 1787. The first census to provid the actual place of birth for the danish citizens was 1845. These two census records are the clues to where Christen Andersen was born.


1845 census of Fredberg, Gislum Aalborg Denmark shows Christen with his birth place being in Alstrup, Aalborg, Denmark.Other census records state that his place of birth was in Farso Parish.
The Link Below shows Chresten or Christen as the father with his wife and granddaughter.

Name:	Age:	Marital status:	Occupation in household:	Occupation:	Birth place:
Chresten Andersen	65	Gift		daglejer	Alstrup [Aalborg]
Ane Bertelsdatter	50	Gift		hans kone	her i sognet
Kirstine Andersdatter	2	Ugift		plejebarn	her i sognet

The census above shows Christen being born in Alstrup, Aalborg Denmark and 65 years old which would have him born around 1780. The next Census record shows a possible Christen Andersen as a five year old child. The only record I have beyond his marriage record to Ane in 1816.

Name:	Age:	Marital status:	Occupation in household:	Occupation:	Birth place:
And. Jacobsen	35	Gift	mand	husmand og skræder
Anne Michelsdatter	36	Gift	kone
Christen Andersen	5	-	deres barn
Jens Andersen	3	-	deres barn
Michel Andersen	1	-	deres barn

This Census shows a Christen Andersen in Alstrup at the age of 5 years old which shows him being born in 1782. I have found a birth record in 1782 and will give the information I found from this record.

The Family History Library in Salt Lake City has this record on microfilm. # 0043447 in the international floor.

It shows a Christen who was born on the 21st Sunday after Trinity. His parents are listed as Anders Staeden (Skaeder) and Anna Christensdatter. According to the information I have found in Wiki shows the date to be October 20, 1782.

Here is the website for the religious holidays and the actual dates.

https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Denmark:_Moveable_Feast_Days_in_1782


From my research this birth record is the most likely birth record for Christen Andersen. There are other census records showing him as born in Farso parish but I have not been able to to find anything to support this. It is possible that he was born somewhere else but the Christen Andersen born in 1782 in Alstrup is the most probable father of Michael Christensen. I encourage anyone else who wants to double check my work and let me know if you found out something different.

The Danish people especially in this time period used very few given names and add in patronimics you got lots of people named Christen Andersen. So my best guess at this point is that He was born in Alstrup. I am in the process of doing the tedious work of comparing all of the Christen Andersens in the area to see if there are any other candidates for this. Please look at the Parish Map below for a good idea of how close all of thes places were. I believed that he was born in close proximity to Farso parish and not in Horring or possibly Viborg as others have tried to suggest.

Find Farso on this map and notice all of the parish are in close distance to Farso. Store Ajstrup (where Michael was born) is north, Alstrup is just a few parishes to the south. All fit in a pretty tight geographic distance.

Happy Birthday Great Great Grandpa Micheal

On June 3, 2012 Micheal will celebrate his 189th birthday. He was born as you may all know by reading this blog in Store Ajstrup Aalborg Denmark on June 3, 1823. So on Sunday Grandpa Micheal will celebrate his birthday. Today I am making this post on May 31, 2012. Just short of 189 years after my Grandpa Michael's birth.

Marvin Romaine Christensen

 

The Marvin Romaine Christensen Family

Marvin was born soon after his mother had Typhoid Fever, and they had told her that she would never have any more children. Marvin was a real surprise and a great blessing. His mother worried about him, but he was very healthy. Marvin was born in Spanish Fork, Utah on August 31, to Einer and Rebecca Christensen.

            As a young boy he herded cows and did the thing all farm boys do growing up. One day while herding cows a sheep herd went by and an old sheep stayed so Einer told Marvin he could keep her. By the time he graduated from High School he had a small herd of sheep.

            Marvin was drafted in World War II, his mother never thought he would pass the physical and she was shocked when he did. Marvin never got a furlough to come home until he was released at Christmas time in 1945.

            Marvin was dating Maxine’s girlfriend and there were twelve girls who wanted to meet each other’s boyfriends so they all went to a dance and that is when Maxine met Marvin in October and got married on June 11, 1947.

            Marvin worked at Geneva Steele for 37 years and then retired. He continued to farm for many years. Now he is retired from farming but still keeps busy doing yard work. He has Diabetes but he is doing great and takes really good care of his health and the Doctor told his daughter Rebecca he wished all of his patients were as healthy.

Maxine Roberts Christensen was the oldest of six children and her mother taught her everything that she knows. She says that both of her parents were great and taught her to be a good person. When Maxine was eleven years old her mother had a nervous breakdown and she and her siblings had to live with relatives for two years. Her father bought a home in Springville, Utah and alone and with Maxine’s he raised his six children. Some of Maxine’s relatives worried about the kids while her father was gone all day. Social Services came to check on them. The House was clean, the kids were clean, and Maxine was baking bread and reading to her younger sister and brothers. The people from Social Services stated that they knew adults who did not do near as good as she did.

            Marvin and Maxine met at a dance and fell in love. She stated that after she was married to Marvin her sister and her brothers came and stayed with them during the summer.

            They have six wonderful children who are all grown up. They have 27 Grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. Maxine stated that she loved being a stay at home mom and raising her children, Kathy, Nanette, Randy, Pamela, Rebecca and Calvin.

            Marvin and Maxine love living in LakeShore, Utah where they have lived for the past 45 years. Life has been really great for them and they are very thankful to god for many blessings and they both feel that they have been blessed their whole life. They feel that they have received more blessing than they can count.

LaVoy Talmage Christensen Family

LaVoy Talmage Christensen Family

Lavoy Christensen

LaVoy Talmage Christensen was born on June 23, 1917 at home in Spanish Fork Utah in the house on 8^th East and 2^nd North, to Einer and Rebecca Christensen.

            When he was 4 years old his mother came down with typhoid and he was sent to stay with the George Skinner Family.  He was kicked out because of a fight with the Skinners older daughter. He took his tinker toys and went home. His Dad said he could stay. While his mother was sick his Dad Einer, Floyd his older brother and LaVoy all slept in the same bed until his mother got better.

            In the spring just before he turned five he learned how to ride a horse. He remembers helping on the farm all through his youth. When he was in the 8^th grade he dropped out of school and continued working on the farm. He remembers that while working on the farm Pete and Floyd would leave after lunch so they could have a smoke.

            He met Elva Christensen on a blind date and they were married on November 29, 1938. They lived

at the farm for their first year of marriage then they lived with Elva’s parents the next summer. After the

summer they moved into their own apartment in Provo. Lavoy started working construction building Geneva

Steel. Their first daughter Lavern was born on June 12, 1942.
            On January 3, 1944 Lavoy went into the army. During basic training he was in Austin, Texas where he remembers seeing the State Capitol covered with crickets. He took a boat to England then crossed the English Channel. He spent time in Belgium, France and Germany. While he was in Germany he had special permission to visit his brother, Marvin the day before Marvin left for Berlin. They had both been just a few miles away from each other for a little while and didn’t know it until just before Marvin was to leave for Berlin.

            After the war Lavoy went to work at Geneva when it opened. They then moved to Spanish Fork in the House on 7^th East and 2^nd North. About this time he bought his 1^st piece of farm ground. He also bought a thrasher but he only did well for one year so after 2 years he sold it.

           

On September 21, 1947 he had two more daughters, Lacey and Lois.

During his lifetime he had various horses, cattle and dogs. One of the dogs, Tip would stay with the tractor up on the farm ground all night so no one would steal the gas out.

            LaVoy built a new brick home in 1954 right next to the old house. Later that year LaVoy and Elva were sealed in the Manti Temple and had their 3 daughters sealed to them.

            He also went in on the purchase of a ranch in Ruby Valley, Nevada close to Elko, Nevada with his Dad and Rulon. He spent many summers working there in hay season. He later sold his share to Rulon.

            He liked to go deer hunting, pheasant hunting and fishing.

In April 1977 he crushed his ankle in an accident at Geneva, he was 59 years old and never went back to work at Geneva. He received Workman’s Comp until he could qualify for a medical retirement. He had to wait for two years until he turned 62.

            After his retirement LaVoy and Elva bought a trailer in Quartzite, AZ in 1986. They went there every winter. He was hit by a car while riding his bicycle in Quartzite and broke his leg. A couple years later he fell off his bicycle and broke his hip. He had a hip replacement at this time and got rid of his Bicycle. He sold his trailer in 2001.

            Elva died on June 28, 1998 and just before that time LaVoy was in the hospital for congestive heart failure. Because of a test they did for his heart that caused some damage to his kidneys he had kidney failure in 2002 and was on dialysis for several months.

            He is still living at his home in Spanish Fork, Utah and doing well at this time.

History of Laurel Peter Christensen

History of Laurel Peter (Pete) Christensen

Laurel Peter (Pete) & Thelma Christensen

            Laurel Peter Christensen was born on December 31, 1912 in Spanish Fork, Utah to Einer and Rebecca Christensen. Pete as he later liked to be called help his father on the family farm along with his older brother Floyd.  Growing up, Pete attended Thurber Elementary School on

Main Street

and would attend the Central school for Junior and Senior High School in Spanish Fork, Utah. His favorite teacher during this time was Mimie Hales.

            When Pete was eight years old his mother came down with Typhoid Fever and was in bed for a very long time. Pete helped his mother during this time doing her housework.

            As Pete got older he wanted to play sports but his father would not let him, as he was needed to help on the farm. Pete wanted to play football and did play for a short time but claimed he broke a young mans leg and felt so bad he never played sports again. Pete also enjoyed riding his horse and would often ride his horse as fast as he could down the road often scaring his neighbors. He was very careful not to let his mother see him ride his horse.

            Pete worked for Lou Miller for two winters in a logging camp up Indian Canyon and was snowed in once for ten days. They were forced to eat oatmeal for most of the time since they were short on food. Pete refused to eat oatmeal from then on and even when he was older he would prefer cereal to oatmeal.

            Pete met Thelma Larrabee of Springville in November of 1932. He and his friends would often have parties at Thelma's house as it was the depression and money was scarce. Pete and his friends Willis Mattinson and Tom Rees would eat all of the food they could find in the cupboards often eating the food Thelma’s mother had prepared for dinner.

   Pete and Thelma were married in the Salt lake Temple on December 21, 1933. Pete and Thelma lived with Pete’s parents in their home in town. Later Pete and Thelma moved into the farmhouse on the road between Springville and Spanish Fork.

            Pete and Thelma had two daughters. Joan their first child and Karen their second child. Karen at 18 months old passed away from pneumonia and devastated both Pete and Thelma. Their son Larry was born shortly after Karen’s death.

            Pete worked at any job he could find during the depression. When World War Two began he worked for Geneva Steele on the railroad. He later went to work for the Rio Grand Railroad in Salt Lake City. Pete worked during the busy times and then would be laid off so he had to find other work until the railroad picked him up again. Pete later came on full time and moved his family to Murray, Utah were he lived until his death.

            Pete had smoked most of his life stopping for a brief time when Thelma and he were married in the Salt Lake Temple.  This changed when he had a heart attack on May 2, 1978. Pete never smoked again but he had to undergo surgery and had a pig valve put in place of his damaged valve. He loved to tease about being part pig with his pig valve.

            Pete loved to tease and often teased his grandchildren. He gave the boys nicknames which most of us will never reveal. He also nicknamed the girls as well and teased all of us every chance he saw us. He was a hard worker and even though the heart problems forced his retirement he still worked for a local farmer who had a farm in Pete's back yard. The Mcmillan's were very happy to have Pete assist them with their farm and Pete loved it, as he had never given up his farm boy ways.

            Pete passed away on March 4, 1988 from Pneumonia. He had suffered since 1985 from Alzheimer’s, which caused Pete to forget every one of his family members including Thelma. This is a devastating disease and was difficult for his family to watch his slow deterioration from this disease.
