I am seeking any descendants of Kristiane Stens, who emigrated to Utah at about 1908-1909 from Denmark.
She married Carl Stens 07-12-1909 in Salt Lake, Utah. He died 31-08-1927, don't know where.
She died in Logan, Cache, Utah in september 1974

Hi Poul, If you search at the site www.switchboard.com, you'll find only two Stens listed in Utah, neither very near Logan where Kristiane lived, However, it wouldn't be too surprising for them to have moved to the Salt Lake City area for better work opportunities, and that's where both of those listings are. However, i think I've probably found you a certain match, but you'll have to pay a bit for it. Go to intelius.com and search for Ivan Stens, then scroll down, you'll actually see listing that shows Otto H. Stens above _____ Stens, age 64. I left that blank there, just for privacy, but you'll actually see the person's name there. I think that Otto is probably the now deceased father of the person listed there. Unfortunately, you'll have to pay about $10 if you want to get his contact information. I found a death date for Otto at www.familysearch.org of 1995. I found some missing living relatives through a very similar entry at intelius.com a year or so ago.

This is probably Otto's marriage information:

Brides First Name Velva

(Box Elder County is next to Cache County where Logan is, so it 's a bit odd that they're listed there. Perhaps that's where the groom is from. )

Hope that this helps, Paula

Hi, I seen this on ancesty.com in the message board and I was wondering how you are related to the stens? I am tring to find out information on my sten family from denmark. My ggrandmother was carl sten's first wife and they came to richmond ut. They left liverpool in 1905 and arrived in boston in jan 1906. Anna Hansina Stens was my grandmother. would you have any other information on Carl Stens? My mother knows or knew pretty much all the people you list here. Christiana was my grandmother anna's step mother. Anna's real mother died when she was about 4-5 years old. would love to hear from you and my mother is still alive and could answer possibly any question.
God bless,
