In my decendency research of the Lund family, I am currently focusing on Didrich and Karen’s oldest daughter, Christine, and her family. I have collected a lot of documents and know a lot more now than I did before. But, I still have a few questions I need to answer before I can keep going.
- What do I know so far?
- Where are there holes in the timeline?
- Are there records available to fill in the holes?
- Where can I go from here?
I think that making a timeline will help me answer these questions. So, using my Roots Magic software, I selected Peder Jensen and his wife Christine Funk Lund and their children to create a timeline report and saved it as a word document. This document includes the citations, so I can refer to them as needed.
Below I’ve added my timeline so far. I’ve also added ideas for further research.

Confirmation – I should be able to find a confirmation record for Peder, and possibly for Christine. They would have been confirmed in their teens, prior to their 19th birthday.

Confirmation – the Jensen children may also have been christened. I should look for these records in the Nylarsker Parish records.

- Christine’s LDS baptism/confirmation — I have four different dates for Christine’s baptism. I need to see if I can find her in the Bornholm Branch records. Also, I’ll need to take a look at what Family Search has. It would not be surprising to find that she was baptized while alive and then had the work done for her as well.
- All the “blue” facts come from the FamilySearch Family Group Record sheet for Didrich, Christine’s father.
- 1888 is the last time I have real, verified information for the Jensen family.
Where can I go from here?
Besides looking up the records listed above in purple, I have some other ideas.
- 1890 Danish Census – Where are the Jensen’s? Are they still in Denmark or have they immigrated?
- Nylarsker Parish records – I will continue my search for future years to see if I can find death records for Peder and Christine as well as possible marriage records for their two sons.
- I know from Jacob Peter’s christening record that he immigrated to America … perhaps I could find a passenger list for him? Or, maybe find him in a US Census.
Obviously, I’d like to find children for Laurits and Jacob. But, I need to know more! Onward!
