The original research here was done by Cora Christofferson from Danish church records.  Since Denmark was one of the last areas of europe to adopt catholicism, the records of births and death are limited only to the time beginning with these church records.  These churches later became Lutheran. Most of these records are maintained in local archives and were microfilmed by the LDS. We still have an incomplete history of this family and I look forward to information that can complete the lists of the children.

1775 - 30 NOV  There is a marriage recorded of a Christen Petersen and Anne Petersdatter in Rind, Ringkobing, Denmark.  There are no others with the same names in combination in the same area of the proper age to be other than this couple.  I suspect that the date of the first child is off by several years making this date possible.  [LDS mar. of Ringkobing]
