My husband's grandfather was Hans Carl Christensen, born in April 1878 in Kolding Denmark. Hans Carl married Marie Amelie Madsen of Kolding. He was the son of Erik Christensen who was born in South Jutland. Are we related somewhere down the line?

I know my granfarther was Peter Christensen from Denmark, born Aug 23, 1843, I was told he had 27 kids from 3 wifes, 2 in Utah and 1 in Calif. His last wife, Laura Larson had 5 kids (I think) and lived in Fresno, Calif. area. My farther, Floyd Donald Christensen 1909/1980 moved to the Los Angeles area (La Crescenta) around 1940, his 3 brothers Herb in Los Angeles, Wes in Santa Barbara, Ken in Florida and the sister Blanch stayed in the Fresno area. I can't remember any from Long Beach but there may have been some, its been a long time.
