Update on Jens Christensen: Older brother to Anders Christensen
1860 Torslev census, page 17. Sorry about the upside down image and the blurry images in the prior posts. The images are clean and correct on my computer but are being transferred incorrectly to the blog. I found this page as I was looking for Anders Christensen in the Torslev 1860 census. I had not been able to find Jens and his family in any census after 1855 but here they are. He is living next to his brother Andreas. Jens is 41, his wife, Karen Marie is 39. They have two children living with them Maren Kirstine, age 14 and Christine Jensen, age 13. They are listed as Lutheran. In our records according to Lena's history, there was an Uncle of hers who came over with them to America and I wonder if it was Jens? I'll keep looking.
