Christening Record – Jacob Peter Jensen

In the 1880 Danish census I found another child for Peder and Christine Jensen –  Jacob Peter Jensen. Since he was 1 year old at the time (1 Feb 1880) I went back into the church records to find his christening record.

Interesting:
His entry is pretty standard except for the short notation next to his number – “emigrated to America.” I have some family histories that mention Christine immigrating to America, but only tells me that it was after her parents (who immigrated in 1870). This is the first supporting evidence.

1880 Census – Peder and Christine Jensen

From the 1870 Census I found two children for Peder and Christine Jensen. I’ve also gone back and found christening records for those children and for Peder. Since both children were christened in the Lutheran church I guess the Jensen’s didn’t get baptized into the LDS church like Christine’s family did…at least not yet. 🙂


Moving forward in time, I decided to look for the Jensen’s in the 1880 Danish census. I have family accounts, from the Funch/Lund’s in the USA, that the Jensen’s did immigrate at some future time. It would have to be after 1880 since they are in the census —



This time they have another son, Jacob Peter Jensen, age 1. There is a 10 year gap between Laurits and Jacob. Did they have more children who did not live to 1880? Miscarriages wouldn’t be recorded but stillbirth’s would probably get a burial record (but I would imagine not a birth record). If they did have children that lived for a short while, then I should be able to find a birth record. I’ll have to go through all the church records for those years and see what I can find.


For now, here’s the original image of the census:

Christening Record – Peder Jensen

Since the 1870 Danish Census gave me Peder Jensen’s birth place as Nylars (which is Nylarsker parish), I went into the church records to find his christening.

[my comment: It seems like the “8” which descends the line is a kind of abbreiation, signifying that “now comes the address”. Farms in Bornholm seemed to have some kind of numbering system, and I believe it possible, that Christen Jensen is living in 25 S??gg[rd?]. Not having any better way to show, I will use [8] to show]

Interesting:
It appears that Peder may have been ill as a newborn because he was christened at home.

Interesting:

  • Here we see Annine’s full name — Annine Margrethe Christine Jensen. Love it!
  • She was also vaccinated (for small pox) by Zahrtmann, like her brother, and parents. I believe him to be the local doctor.
  • In this record and in her brother Laurits’ Christening record Christine’s name is listed as Claudina Christine.
