Christiansen children:
Fred married Nellie Campbell Walker (I have more information on this side as he is my great grandfather)... if you want more... please E-mail me.
Carley married a Malinda (I don't know her last name).
Barney married a Helen Adams Simmons? (I have to look up my records again... if you want more information please e-mail me)
George married a Cecilia Lenz.
Emmett married a Viola Velma Ritchey.
I have more information on some of the families though the ones I know most about are Fred and Emmett. I would love to learn more about George and the Shepherds. Carley and Barney did not have children from what I have heard.
Shepherd children:
Essie married a Fred Haller.
Irene married a Vincent Mortellra
Glady married an Albert Pickard
Douglas (I have no clue)
I would eventually love to see if we can do a family reunion some time. That would be awesome. As my mom has 23 cousins just from Fred's kids, I am sure that there are a lot of family.
I also have a few copies of things like obituaries, Barnard's and Amelia's marriage certificate, and someone from San Antonio is sending me some census records.
Please feel free to call me or e-mail me any information you have to add. I am working on the genealogy in my spare time. I am a teacher, so summers are perfect. I would be more than happy to get information and then eventually making a book for all of us and sending one to whoever wishes one.
Sincerely,

None of those names seem familiar to me... but then again none of them do. We just got to my great great grandfather. We believe his dad's name is Borg. They are from Schleswig (however you spell that... my genealogy stuff is on my couch right now).
I am not sure. I know that if it is him... he is from Clinton, Iowa. (if any of that rings a bell).

My husbands great grandfather was Jens born 9-9-1842 In Denmark. He married Karen Olsen and had children Ollie (Ollie) Andres, Christian Evald, Inger Marie, Christiane Olive (Oline), Lars Jorgen, Thorwald Johan, Kathrine, and Aksel Emil. Lars was my husband's grandfather and lived in Kimbalton, Audubon County, Iowa. Hope this helps some. Perhaps your family was from one of the other brothers.

I need help on my Christiansen side of the family.
My great great grandfather married my great great grandmother on December 17, 1888. He had sons Fred (my great grandfather), Barney, Carley, George, and Emmett.
We know he's from Iowa. And that his father was most likely from Denmark.
After researching for 3 hours, we found a Barney Christianson(according to census... which could have misspelled his name), in Iowa. His father was Borg Christiansen. Borg is from Schleswig. Barnard died in San Antonio, Texas from electrocution.
Please can someone confirm or deny whether my great great grandfather is this Barney Christianson on the 1880 census in Iowa. It says this one's birthplace is Wisconsin. I want to find my family before there aren't any left. Already we have lost my great grandparents of course, their oldest son, my grandmother, and her younger sister has Alzheimers now. We want to fit the rest of our family together. Please provide a link if it is possible.
E-mail me back at NAEnEANER(a)yahoo.com.
Or you can even call my cell phone (940) 224-6801. I want to provide some type of history for the family while we can.
Sincerely,
Renae James
