Soren Hermansen's Second Brother: Christen

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 160. Christen born to Herman Jensen of Vindum on 7 p Trinitas or August 1, 1756. He is the second known child born to Herman and his wife. Witnesses appear to be Laurits Jensen of Faurup as well as others I cannot decipher.

Confirmation, Vindum parish register, page 24. Herman Jensen's son Christen of Vindum is confirmed in 1773.

1801 Gullev census, page 3. I knew that Christen lived in Gullev parish because he is listed at the birth of one of Soren Hermansen and Maren Pedersdatter's children as being a witness from Gullev. In this census he is Kristen Hermandsen, age 45 and a tenant farmer. His wife is Barbara Kristensdatter, age 55. He has two children, Hans Kristian Kristensen age 18, and Ann Kirstine (?) Kristensdatter, age14.
