Re: Christian and Kristiana Rasmussen Wisc. 1888
Yes, we have some information.Thank you so much for your interest in helping us unravel these mysteries.Kristiana Dorthea Marie Christensen Rasmussen was my husband's great grandmother.Her parents were: Jens Christensen (father) and Maren Nielson (mother), according to notes I have from my husband's mother.She was born 15 Jan 1867 in Blegind or Begend? Jylland Denmark.She had brothers were named Nelson and Maurius Christensen.
She married her husband Christian (sometimes spelled Kristian) Rasmussen 27 Jan 1888 in Denmark and immediately they sailed to the USA and lived in Chicago until 1986 when they moved to Kenosha.Christian Rasmussen, who worked for Chicago and Northwestern RW and then the Simmons company, died 16 April 1932.In 1904 Kristiana joined the Danish Sisterhood and she was a member of St. Mary's Lutheran church in Kenosha.Kristiana died 22 June 1970 at 103 years of age.
Any information on Kristiana and Christensen before they came to the US and on how they arrived here would be greatly appreciated.Thank you, Peggy Scoggin
