I am looking for information on my great grandmother, Christine Christianson. From what I have been able to find, she was born about 1886 in MN, possible to a Hans. I don't have anything on her mother yet, other than they were both from Denmark. She married the first time to a James Jackson. Don't the year. They divorced and she married Jacob Hanson in 1916 in Stephan MN. She lived mostly in Ward County ND, the Kenmare area. In a 1915 Census she has a brother, Christ age 24 living with her. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, they were from Norway originally. I also have found out they spelled their name Christenson. My grandmother was born in 1890 in Fertile, Minnesota. Her father was Gustave Martin Christenson, born in 1858 in Christiana, Norway.

I have a bit of information on this family. I just found John Alberts war record from the first world war. Look at (Mapping our Anzacs.naa.gov.au) Let me know what information you want. May Christiansson, Antons youngest child?was my grandmother. I think that all of Antons children except 2 died young. I think Eric went on a surf trip to Stradbroke island and contracted a mosquito bourne disease and died young. Raleigh was kicked in the head at a fair by a horse and died but not instantly. Ill have a look for more information

Take a look at the 1905 Wisconsin census for John (and Martha)'Christainson' and the 1900 Fed census for John 'Christinson' living in Pine Valley Wisconsin.
They list a daughter Madge who was born in July 1890 in Wisc. John is listed on one census as being from Sweden, but the others I looked at all say Norway. Might be who you are looking for.

Magnus Christianson/Christensen Brooklyn NY

daphne1263 — 2008-02-12 19:24:53Z

Hi,

I am trying to find out more information about my great grandparents, Magnus and Martha Christianson. Magnus was born in Norway 5/24/1887 and immigrate to the US in 1908. He was naturalized in 1913. According to family history, his last name was spelled Christensen, but when he immigrated/was naturalized he changed the spelling to Christianson because he thought it was more “American” looking. He married Martha Smith, who was born in NY in 1890. They lived in Brooklyn, NY, and had 4 children, including my grandfather. My mother also remembers that Magnus had a relative (a cousin??) who also lived in Brooklyn, named Aarvid Christensen. Martha died in 1943, and Magnus died 7/21/1951. Family history is muddled here, but according to my grandmother, Magnus had had a nervous breakdown and was in an asylum in/near Brooklyn when he died. Supposedly he had been smoking in a bathroom and had started a fire that killed him. I would love help finding out any more information about either Magnus or Martha’s families, plus anything about the asylum and/or fire killed Magnus. Thanks!

Re: CHRISTIANSON Jenny

Ashenbrudel — 2007-12-22 18:36:31Z

"Christiansen"-with the ending 'sen',instead of 'son'-could make a difference but not always. Depends on variables i.e. transcription typos, etc., my limited knowledge is that the 'sen' ending could suggest Norweigen decent, 'son' suggests Swedish-not sure how its usually spelled in Danish or Finnish-any insight welcome. My MGM was Jenny Greaves nee Christianson, her father was a carpenter,immigrated from Sweden, mother from Finland and they lived in New York. Her father's sister also Jenny Christianson, married a Carlson and after my GGM was orphaned, she and her brother Eddy, Edward Albert Christianson went to live with their Aunt's family. My MGM is buried in Long Island. Any connections welcome.

Brede O. Christianson, bio

ccountr1 — 2007-07-14 22:52:58Z

BREDE & MATHILDA CHRISTIANSON
Brede O. Christianson was born at Solor, Norway 2 Jan 1871. He immigrated to this country at the age of seven. At age 23 yrs, he came to Roseau County with five other men fra the Pelican Rapids area in search of homesteads. The men lived in tents while here, fought hungrey mosquitoes and ticks.

Since there were no roads, only trails, getting fra one place to another was a trying experience. Crossing swamps was a problem. Logs fra Canada were brought in to build their homestead shacks.

Brede Christianson was married to Mathilda PEDERSON in 1899. Her father also a homesteader. For a time the Christianson family moved back to Pelican Rapids where Brede farmed the old home place. Within five years they were back in Roseau County. Money was scarce in the early days of Roseau County and looking for another source of income, Brede bought his first car. It was a used 1917 Model T. He hauled mail with this car. It was a job he held for four years. He also hauled freight fra Stephen to Badger.

For many years Brede served on the Haug School Board, was township supervisor and an active member of Oiland Lutheran Church serving as treasurer.

They were the parents of ten children:
Olava Christianson ROETMAN
Joseph Christianson
Mabel Christianson COPELAND
Oline Christianson ERICKSON
Alma Christianson WOLD
Ben Christianson
Melvin Christianson
Rudolph Christianson
Ruth Christianson PELOWSKI - ERICKSON
Clarice Christianson SWART

Mathilda Christianson died 13 August 1926 and Brede died 21 Sept 1949.

CHRISTIANSON, STANLEY R.

Rank and organization: Private First Class, U.S. Marine Corps, Company E, 2d Battalion, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division (Rein.). Place and date: Seoul, Korea, 29 September 1950. Entered service at: Mindoro, Wis. Born: 24 January 1925, Mindoro, Wis. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with Company E, in action against enemy aggressor forces at Hill 132, in the early morning hours. Manning 1 of the several listening posts covering approaches to the platoon area when the enemy commenced the attack, Pfc. Christianson quickly sent another marine to alert the rest of the platoon. Without orders, he remained in his position and, with full knowledge that he would have slight chance of escape, fired relentlessly at oncoming hostile troops attacking furiously with rifles, automatic weapons, and incendiary grenades. Accounting for 7 enemy dead in the immediate vicinity before his position was overrun and he himself fatally struck down, Pfc. Christianson, by his superb courage, valiant fighting spirit, and devotion to duty, was responsible for allowing the rest of the platoon time to man positions, build up a stronger defense on that flank, and repel the attack with 41 of the enemy destroyed, many more wounded, and 3 taken prisoner. His self-sacrificing actions in the face of overwhelming odds sustain and enhance the finest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service. Pfc. Christianson gallantly gave his life for his country.

Syver Christianson born 1826 Buskeruds, Norway to Wisconsin

"Syver Christianson (Engen) Sec. 32; P. O. Primrose; born in Buskeruds, Amt Aggershuus Stift, Norway, Oct. 20, 1826; worked with his father as a farmer and tailor until he came to American in 1848 and settled in Plymouth, Rock Co.; worked at his trade and as a farm hand; made a visit to Michigan and two to Minnesota; in 1854, he bought a farm in Perry, and, eighteen months later, removed to Sec. 32, Primrose, where he bought 138 acres; in 1875 he bought the A. Mickleson eighty, and now owns 228 acres. He married, in Rock Co., Wis., Betsy Gulleckson; she was born in the same place, with him, came to American, when 10 years of age, and settled in Plymouth, where they were married in September 1854; they have seven children - Christian L., Guleck S., Syver S., E. Christiana, Jane, Helena and Elena; the eldest was born in Perry, and the others in Primrose. Mr. Christianson and family belong to the Norse Evangelical Lutheran Conference; he is a Republican, and was District Clerk several years. He began in Wisconsin with just $1, and has earned every cent and every acre." page 1091, Town of Primrose, History of Dane County, 1880? I am not researching this family but thought this data might be helpful to someone. I suppose there is the chance that ChristiansOn should be spelled ChristiansEn and GullecksOn as GullecksEn.

I really can;t see any connection...but I don;t think if it were me, I wouldn;t throw the pictures away....someday , especially , if there was an adoption, they may be a treasure found , for the right person...I searched for Charlotte, for over 40 yrs, as she was my husband;s natural grandmother...and just before xmas, last, I had success ....

I was a little girl when my mother used to mind a baby named Nancy Christianson. Her mother's name was Irene and Irene subsequently married a Bill Johnson. I am not positive my information is correct about Nancy's father, John, being from Norway as he could very well have been from Sweden. I was only about 6 or 7 years of age at the time. I was told Nancy was adopted out. I have all these baby pictures of her that I have just received from my mother who died in November, 2005. I hate to throw them out.

I have pictures of a Nancy Christianson whose parents were John Christianson and Irene. These pictures have been in my family for over 50 years and I would like to give them to Nancy. Do you know where she lives? John Christianson I believe was from Norway.
