----- Original Message ----- Hello fellow Christensen, my great grandparents
were Lauritz and Nelsine Christensen who came to N.Z. in 1874 from Dvet
married in the same year in a" Round "church at Thorsager, in Ahuus. Had 10
children, lived first in the South Island at Banks Penninsula and then moved
up to Pahiatua and farmed there all their children lived in N.Z, My
Grandfathers were Antonis and the other was Harry, I know this may sound a
little confusing But my parents were first cousins when they married,
Antonis married Isabella Birkett from Ireland and Harry married Ellen
Higgison from Frant in Kent U.K.I hope they may be of some help to you, I do
know that Christensen is as common as Smith in Denmark and I have been there
in 1996, just to see where my ancestors came from and it is truly a great
place to visit, and the churches do help all they can if you have an area of
where they may have come from, now you have a computer you may be abel to E
mail some of the churches, who's address maybe in your local Library, Good
Luck and lets know how you go , Muriel Morey from Nelson N.Z.

I am hoping someone may be able to help me with info regarding my greatgrandmother and her family please? I haven't much to go on except for the following -
Ingvert William Christensen born in Denmark (place unknown) circa. 1848. His father was Peter Bennett Christensen (we think) and mother Johanna (surname unknown).
Ingvert married Maren Johansen (place unknown). They came to Australia some time prior to 1879 and settled in Homebush via Mackay, Queensland.
They had the following children - Johanna Maria b. circa 1874, James W b. circa 1877, Laurina Matilda b. 26 July 1879 (my g. grandmother), Peter S b. circa 1881 and Wilhelmina M b. circa 1882.
It was said that Maren may have been born in Kaarlsbad or Karlovy Way.
Any help or suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sharron
