I have run into a total dead-end in my search for information about Christeana Margarete Sorensen, my great grandmother. I would be very grateful for any help/leads people might have for her.

Some background:

Born Sept. 1869 in Denmark.

Immigrated to US in 1880-3 from Denmark

Married Edgar Stafford (b. 1862 in Houston, MN and shown in 1880 census in same town)in 1886

First child Clyde R Stafford b. 1888 in Aberdeen, SD.
Grace Stafford b. 1889 in SD.
Subsequent children b. in WI, KS and MO.

Moved to Portland, OR between 1910 and 1920.

Father shown on death cert. as Genius (maybe Jens or Julius?) Sorensen.

Mother shown on death certificate as Karen Marie Christensen.

I'm not sure I trust the spelling of her name. Could be Christine, Christina, Christiana, etc... and Margarethe, Margret, etc...

I am most interested n tracing her back to Denmark, and learning of siblings in US.

Many thanks,
