Anders Christensen (GGGGF, 1823 - 1899, as recorded by Paulene
Anderson, 1996) -
Little is known about Anders. He
was born on April 22, 1823 to Christen Madsen and Kirsten Marie Pedersen and
lived in Tyregod Vejle, Denmark (the large island of Denmark’s 500
islands). This small town was located
about 1/3 the distance up from the German border. He was born the 5th of 6 children. His family were simple peasant farmers during
Denmark’s rennaisance. Much of Denmark’s
trades and industry related to sailing and shipping. The Danes had sufferd much during the war
with England but were now transforming their small country into a successful
industrial nation. Anders was 29 years
old when he was married Elizabeth Marie Hansen on December 3, 1852. He lived his entire life in Denmark.
