Christen Knudsen Family

Marriage, Vindum parish register, page 117. Christen Knudsen of Vindum and Kirsten Sorensdatter of Faarup announce their intention to marry March 2, 1727 and are married 16 p Trinit or September 28, 1727 in the church. We do not know Christen's parents names and the line ends with them. Kirstine Sorensdatter's parents were Soren Christensen and Dorthe Christensdatter and their deaths are October 22, 1705 and October 1720 in our records, but I cannot find those deaths recorded at that time in the parish register.

Birth/Christening, Vindum parish register, page 67. The top entry of the page shows that on 4 Adventis or December 21, 1727 Niels is christened.

Introduction, Vindum parish register, page 276. Christen Knudsen's son of Vindum is presented to the church January 25, 1728.

Introduction, Vindum parish register, page 277. On March 11, 1731, Christen and Kirsten's second child Anne is presented to the church. They are from Vindum. Anne's life is documented in a prior post, except for this document.

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 83. Birgitte is christened 24p Trinit or November 16, 1738. She is the third child birth document I can find. There is another possible child listed in new family search with the name of Niels between Anne and Birgitte but I can find no birth record for a Niels during this time born to Christen Knudsen.

Introduction, Vindum parish register, page 283. On January 1, 1739, Birgitte is presented to the church. The family is in Vindum.

Confirmation, Vindum parish register, page 171. In 1745 Chresten Knudsens son Niels of Vindum is confirmed. His future brother in law Herman Jensen is also confirmed this year.

Confirmation, Vindum parish register, page 174. This record may be the reason why somebody has placed the third child of Christen named Niels in new family search. At the top of the page under 1753 Christen ? (looks kind of like Knudsen) son Niels from Faarup is confirmed. I don't think that this is correct in that I can't find a Niels that was born to Christen between 1731 and 1738 in Vindum, nor can I find them in the church introduction pages of the parish register. Furthermore, Chresten and Niels in this are listed as being from Faarup and Christen and family lived in Vindum.

Confirmation, Vindum parish register, page 175. Christen Knudsen's datter Birgitha is confirmed in 1756. They live in Vindum.

Death, Vindum parish register, page 237. Kirstine Sorensdatter, wife of Christen Knudsen of Vindum, passes away August 27, 1761. She was 61 years old placing her birth around 1700. This find agrees with the information I found on new family search.

Death, Vindum parish register, page 37. The fifth entry on the page is the death or burial of Christen Knudsen February 25, 1776. He was 91 years, 3 months, and 3 days old putting his birthday around November 22, 1684.
