Looking for descendants of the following family:
The family of Jens Peter JENSEN, a.k.a. Jens Peter CHRISTIANSEN, and his wife, Carrie, born Karen RASMUSDATTER immigrated in various years between 1875 and 1882 to Eureka, Humboldt, CA from Denmark. Jens was born 29 Feb 1820 and his wife was born 20 Feb 1823. They had a large family. Some of the dates may vary a few years depending on the sources.
The first to come to America seems to have been their son, Rasmus JENSEN, b. 17 Aug 1852, followed by his brother, Jens Christian JENSEN, a.k.a. Christian JENSEN, b. 15 Sep 1856. They lived at Yager Creek in Humboldt County, where Rasmus had a sheep ranch, and where Christian lived and helped with the ranch.
Rasmus' wife also lived there. Her name was Emma Emilie JOHN, b. 11 Mar 1850 in Denmark. They married 19 Apr 1876 in Eureka, Humboldt, CA
Christian m. Laura S. SCHEIE (possibly SCHWEIE) on 14 Feb 1885 in Eureka.
Rasmus' sister, Marie (Mary) Kristine JENSEN, b. 6 July 1861, came to America in 1882 with her mother, Carrie. Mary m. about 1884 Frank JOHNSON (b. Jan 1847 in Denmark).
Rasmus' sister, Christiana (Christine) JENSEN, b. 21 Apr 1864, immigrated in 1882, possibly with her sister, Mary, and mother, Carrie. She m. Frederick NELSON 29 Apr 1883 in Eureka. He was b. Oct 1849 in Denmark.
Their father, Jens Peter JENSEN, a.k.a. Jens Peter CHRISTIANSEN, also came to America. He d. 11 Nov 1898 in Eureka. His wife, Carrie, d. 20 Apr 1908 in Eureka.
Rasmus' family with Emma Emelie JOHN consisted of the following:
Charles Robert JENSEN, b. 1877; d. 1877
Alfred Jens Peter JENSEN, b. 1878; d. 1954
Nellie Emelie JENSEN, b. 1880; d. 1950
George Charles JENSEN, b. 1882; d. 1956
John Edward JENSEN, b. 1884; d. after 1943
Christian's family with Laura S. SCHEIE:
Mabel JENSEN, b. 1885
Howard Christian JENSEN, b. 1886; d. 1957
Frederick JENSEN, b. 1889
Norman JENSEN, b. 1893; d. 1984
Mary's family with Frank JOHNSON:
Frederick Otto JOHNSON, b. 1884; d. 1959
William Edgar JOHNSON, b. 1887; d. 1960
Guy JOHNSON, b. 1894; d. 1948
unknown JOHNSON; d. bef. June 1900
Christine's family with Fred NELSON:
Ella NELSON, b. 1885; d. bef. 1910
Carrie Lillian NELSON, b. 1887; d. 1966
Louis Frederick NELSON, b. 1888; d. bef. July 1955
Millie Margaret L. NELSON, b. 1891; d. bef. Jul 1955
Frederick J. NELSON, b. 1893
Raymond Melvin NELSON, b. 1897; d. 1968
Evelyn Adelle NELSON, b. 1906; d. 1979
Some of the data above may be wrong. It is based on records I've found so far. I have a lot more on this family, however, going back into Denmark. I also have photos I'm willing to share. My hope is that descendants of a JENSEN line other than mine will have information, documents, and/ or photos to share.
