Re: [CHRISTENSEN] Inger Marie Christensen
by Joan and/or Dan Shurtliff
Lori (and all),
I'm afraid my Inger Marie Christensen was born on 2 June 1855, Kirke
Sunnerup, Roskilde, Sjælland, Denmark, daughter of Rasmus Christensen and
Margrethe Nielsdatter. She had the patrinome Rasmusdatter in Denmark, but
all the kids were surnamed Christensen when they immigrated to America in
April of 1869.
I have just put up a three generation tree for this line (Rasmus Christensen
and Margrethe Nielsdatter)as a page on my wifes website at:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~lizzie1950/Christensen_Larsen.htm
It's still being beta tested (meaning I've asked the older generation to
check my facts online) feel free to email if you link up to this line.
Dan
