Looking for parents of John C Nielsen and wife Christina Jensen, Immigrants
Looking for more info on the parentage and immigration of John C. Nielsen born 29 Sep 1854 in Denmark, died 4 Oct 1906, Fontanelle Cemetary, Adair Co, IA and his wife Christina Jensen Nielsen born 28 Oct 1859 in Denmark, died 26 Oct 1910, Fontanelle Cemetary, Adair Co, IA.
They had five children, one of which was supposedly adopted (according to my grandmother) and one which died as a baby. Their children were Herman Nielsen, James Nielsen, Andrew "Andy" Nielsen, and Bertha M. Nielsen.
I found some info via the web indicating that John C. Nielsen's parents were Niels J. Johnson and Karn Nielsen, supposedly this is according to info from the state of Iowa. I'll have to backtrack to find the reference now.
Any assistance going further back with these two would be greatly appreciated. The family story is that they immigrated from Denmark together and either she got pregnant on the way here or she got pregnant shortly after she got here.
I've not had any luck with the census either. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Contact me directly at [email protected] if you have any information.
Thanks!
