Queries
REF:#8.	Janice Garcia. Dec 08, 2000	Grandfather: Orville Christensen Family   1st. E-Mail: Dec. 08, 2000 I searched the Internet and found this website. My grandfather was Orville Floyd Christensen, son of Pete Christensen. My father is Wesley Christensen and lives in rural Northboro. I am wondering if there will be any information added to this website about my grandfather and his family? I have been informed by my brother Jan Christensen, that someone in the College Springs area (I believe) has been researching the family history but I have never seen any documentation as I live in California and do not get back to Iowa very often. I would love to have a printed copy of my paternal family history and would appreciate any information you could provide. Thank you very much. Janice Garcia [email protected] OOPS! As I was printing out the family history I saw that we are in fact listed. I have information about myself. If you would like to add it to the information already provided, I will be very happy to provide it for you. Please advise. Janice (Christensen) Garcia [email protected] Janice, Thanks for the E-Mail I was going to say, before I got your 2nd E-Mail that your family starts at: URL Orville Christensen Sarah/Sadie (WILSON) CHRISTENSEN is my Gt-Gt-Grand Aunt, her brother George R. my Gt-Grandfather. Do you still live in Diamond Bar, Orange Co. CA.? I am 'Retired' now and live in Auburn, CA. I would love for you to make any additions/corrections as required! Do you have any early Peter & Sadie Photos? would lie to add to site. Attached is Family Group Sheet (FGS) on Orville's family. Use a "Text Editor" (ASCII Format) to edit, and return to me for review, and I will up-load to the Christensen Family Profile! I, also would be interested in the pearson/pearsons in College Springs, IA. that is researching this family. ..prs   2nd. E-Mail: Dec. 11, 2000 I made changes directly on this text (in purple) and hopefully, they came through to you. I will print it off in case they didn't and will try to send it another way. Also, where is Auburn, CA? I haven't heard of it. This is so interesting, and I thank you for sharing it. There may be some things I have not gotten right about my sister and brother but will work on that. Thanks again. Janice (Christensen) Garcia [email protected] Thanks, I have up-loaded your corrections/additions to the Orville Christensen Auburn, is north of Sacramento, 35 miles, on I80 at the foothills of Tahoe National Forrest. You are Welcome!, my mother told me part of Genealogy was "Sharing" that's what I have been trying to do. ..prs   3rd. E-Mail: Dec. 18, 2000 Happy Holidays! I was re-reading the family history and saw that M "Peter" Christensen "lived" from 1969-1944 . I know those dates should be 1869 but when you have a chance, you may want to change that. Also, my mother, Beth Christensen, is buried in the Locust Grove Cemetery in Locust Grove Township, Fremont County, Iowa. I have also asked my brother and sister to read this history and make additions/changes/deletions to what I provided. I know I didn't include all of their information. I also forwarded the page to one of my dad's sisters, Marjorie (Christensen) Scharp, so who knows, maybe she will send you an update on her own family. Thanks for sharing with me. I have never seen pictures of Peter or Sadie but I am sure my dad or my aunts have some pictures. Also, has anyone provided information on my grandmother's family, John Harve Hensleigh? I have seen a little information on them but not much. I know this is a big undertaking for you but certainly very interesting. I think the lady in College Springs who has done a lot of research on the Christensen family is named Elaine Christensen. I think her husband's name may be John. My brother, Jan Christensen, knows this information and has actually read her research documents. Janice (Christensen) Garcia [email protected] Ans: #1 OOPS!, thanks I corrected 1969 to 1869 Do you know someone who can go to the gravesite and take photos? If so, I can scan and place in the Cemetery page. Ans: #2 Great!, the more correct info, the better. Ans: #3 If you find any of the old pictures, scan them to a .JPG file (resize to max 500x500 pixels) I can up-load along side Bio. Ans: #4 I to, find Genealogy/Family History interesting. I am retired and this keeps me buzy. I have NOT been in contact or seen the research of Mrs. Elaine CHRISTENSEN Wife of John J. CHRISTENSEN, last info. I have (1985) They lived Blanchard, IA. 51637, Phone 712-582-3228 John J.

REF:#10.	Doris Tritsch Apr 23, 2001	Grt-Grandfather: Nels & A.K. CHRISTENSEN Dear Paul, You have some errors in the Christensen info on your website: Nels and A.K. Christensen had nine children, not 10. You list an Alfred T. who married Lorraine as # 10. This Alfred does not belong to this family. #1. name is Madison Peter--not M. "Peter" #2. name is Augusta not A. Gusta #7 John Christensen has no middle name, so just John not John J. (my Grandfather) Sincerely, Doris Christensen Tritsch E-Mail: [email protected] Thanks for the E-Mail and your comments. On Nels B. Family Profile, I list the 9 Children, and I know he died in 1888, but Alfred T. CHRISTENSEN (b. 1897, some 9 years after Nels's death) Obit. 08 Dec. 1975, (Clarinda Herald Journal) it states he was a son of Nels B. & Anna K. CHRISTENSEN. Was he Adopted by the Widow Anna K. (Madison) CHRISTENSEN? #1. I known that Madison Peter is his name, but he went by M. Peter in Census, Deed records etc. #2. Augusta went by "Gusta" #3. John (1883-1954) headstone list John only also, but Obit on 28 Jan 1954, list John J. CHRISTENSEN. As you can see on your FGS Newell J. & Charlotte (Arendsee) CHRISTENSEN family we have a lot of "Unknown's & Not Traced" We would appreciate it, if you could supply us with the correct information. ..prs Apr 24, 2001 Paul, The Alfred T. Christensen, married to Lorraine, listed as the #10 child of Nels and A.K. lived north of Clarinda and had Need More connection with our family. There was an Alfred Christensen, son of William who was raised by his grandmother A.K. This Alfred married Leone Hensleigh-- he was born in 1903 and died in 1966.. I have worked quite a bit on the Christensen family, but still need to do more work on it. I have my grandfather John's obit and it doesn't list a middle initial for him. I have a brother who is John J. Christensen. Doris Christensen Tritsch E-Mail: [email protected] Thanks, I have corrected A.T. as a s/o Nel B. and family. (In checking my notes his Obit says s/o Nels & Marie Christensen) I have corrected John J. to John. (In checking my notes it was Newell J.'s Obit that listed s/o John J. Christen & Tamar Clementine Jeffery) ..prs Apr. 25, 2001 Dear Paul, My grandmother who was married to John Christensen was not named Anna: Her name was Tamar Clementine-she was called Clemie- Jeffrey, daughter of William Christian Jeffrey and Nancy Anne Hensleigh.
