Jens Christensen (Ander's older brother) came across on the Kenilworth too!!!!

In our family history Ander's paid for five other family members to come over to the United States and in Nicolena's history she reports it was one of her uncles.  As I looked at the passenger log for the Kennilworth I noticed that Jen's Christensen also was on board and came with his family of three children making a total of five---meeting the description of the group that Ander's paid for.  It was said that Ander's was never repaid and I'm thinking that's because Jens died in Wyoming, Nebraska along with a daughter after they ate some poisonous berries. Jens was Anders older brother.  Marinus is felt to be an illegitate child of one of the daughters and eventually settled in Arizona (see the Jens Christensen post in October 2012).  His birth record has never been found but it would have been around 1864.
