Hi again,
I have an update already on the query I just made! Here are the new points:
* the 1910 census of Nelson, Kent, MI is probably a different Marie Christensen. I found "my" Marie instead living in Greenville, Kent, MI in the household of her father, Frederik L. Christensen who had remarried to Mine Eriksen in 1902.
* The mother of this Marie Christensen could likely be Anna Marie Rasmussen who married Frederik L. Christensen in Gowen, Montcalm, MI in 1888. This couple also had two sons, Niels Peter and Chris E. Frederik was found in the 1900 census of Greenville listed as a widower with his 3 children Niels, Chris, and Marie, as well as his younger sister Annie Christensen (it would sure be great to find more info about her).
* The detail about Marie's marriage record showing that her father's name was "Louis" fits since Frederik's middle name was Ludvig, which was often Americanized to Louis - and Frederik was found in the 1940 census listed as Louis.
Thanks to a public family tree that has posted some pictures of this family group, I have been able to match several of the pictures from those I inherited from Michigan. I'd still like to hear from anybody else doing research on this family group - you can email me at genealojist(a)gmail.com.
thanks,
Mary Ann

I am looking for any information about the family of Marie Christensen, 1896-1957 in Michigan. The first census where I can find her is 1910 in Nelson, Kent, Michigan where she was living with an aunt, Maren Petersen. Then in 1920 census she was a niece living in the household of John C. and Marie Petersen in Detroit. Later in 1920, Marie then married Carl H. Nielsen (my grand uncle), and they lived in the Detroit for many years before moving to the Greenville area in Montcalm county where Marie died in 1957. Marie's marriage certificate said her parents were Louis (which I am guessing might have been Lars given that I know Marie was of a Danish background), and Sophia Rasmussen - neither of which have I been able to find.
I have inherited a number of pictures that probably came down from Carl Nielsen, and I imagine that a number of the old photos are of Marie's family. Any info about Marie's family would be appreciated.
thanks,
Mary Ann
