I am the same Kathy Raymond who just responded to you about John Henry Huber. I know that Christian was a lumber inspector near Mobile.

I do not know anything about Jensen in Denmark, My grandfather may have known him as he was from Estonia and had a ship building business in Mobile (Mobile Boat Works)from about 1930 to 1956, before that he had another boat business called (Choctaw Boat Yard) from about 1920-1930. He knew most people in the shipping business back then. He died back in 1956 from cancer. I beleiev that I had a picture with a Capt, I do not remember that Capt's Name at the moment. In the picture Joseph Holberg and his wife were having dinner with this Capt. in Mobile Resturant. I have no information on that Capt. My Grandfather knew a lot of the people from over seas and hired a lot of them in his business. I sorry that I did not know them nor have any information as I was born in 1941. My Father and my Uncle may have known him but they are both dec'd.
I also grew up in Mobile, then serve in the US. Navy for 23 years, now I live in Pensacola. I still travel to Mobile about every weekend.

Jensen-Klindt connection in The Dalles, Oregon 1906

srgroshong — 2009-09-27 15:29:17Z

Hans Peter Jensen , wife Dagmar, and baby Aage immigrated from Denmark to America on the ship 'CEDRIC' in September 1906. Per the document: Hans paid the passage for his family and himself and is meeting his brother-in-law, John Klindt, in The Dalles, Oregon.

I have so far been unable tie down the brother-in-law relationship. I think the two men were married to sisters, but am unable to find a maiden name for the wives. I'm fairly certain Dagmar was not a Klindt, but anything is possible.

Jens Jensen previously thought to be Jervis

MarkJensen54 — 2009-09-24 22:17:28Z

In the 1900 Chicago census there is a listing for Jervis Jensen. Because of the offspring listed, he is definitely my great-great grandfather, in my direct male line.

It has suggested to me that his name is really Jens possibly with a C. middle initial, we thought it might be Carl, but possibly Christian that it stands for.

Anyway the person of concern was born June 1850 somewhere in Denmark and arrived in Chicago in 1878. In 1900 he was a widower, but is also listed as a grocer and butcher. He may well have had a store in his name and a Jens C. Jensen is listed in relationship to a meat market about this time. Any help would be tremendously appreciated! In 1880 he may have been listed as Janson.

HI,
I see this is rather an old post, but I am doing some searching for Jensen relatives. I am the granddaughter of Jens Jensen. Jens had several more children after he came to Winnipeg. My dad Fred is the second youngest. He has just had a request from the Hobro Denmark historical archive for any information on his family. Please reply to this email if you wish to correspond further.

Jens Christian Jensen from Denmark to Winnipeg

2009-09-02 10:03:26Z

Looking for info on my grandfather's brother, Jens Christian Jensen, born in Denmark 1885. He was married to Dagmar Nilesen. They had 3 children Hans Adolph (1913), Ernst (1916) and Alice (1917). Family immigrated to Winnipeg through NYC in 1919. They were going to live with Martin Christiansen on Fountain Street in Winnipeg.

Christian and Anne Jensen

cls4famhist — 2009-08-30 21:19:46Z

Christian and Anne Jensen had children in and around these cities in 1940 when Anne died. Looking for family follow up on Andrew of Phillips, Ervie of Giltner, William and Eddie of Stockham and Mrs Edd Bayne of Giltner. Any helpers out there? They would be the siblings of my great-grandpa.

Simon Peter Jensen & Anne Maria Bertelsen - Australia

cieart — 2009-08-28 10:31:06Z

My family oral history is that my great grandfather changed our surname from JENSEN to STEWART. So I am trying to make a connection between a John STEWART (who was in Fiji between 1914-1922) and John JENSEN b. 1891 Marrickville, New South Wales, Australia.

John JENSEN's parents were Simon Peter JENSEN and Anne Marie BERTELSEN who were married in 1888 in Queensland, Australia. They also had a daughter, Mary Magdalene JENSEN b. 1890.

The information I have on John STEWART from his marriage to Filomena RODAN in 1918 in Suva, Fiji is that he was born in Sydney and was 28 in 1918, which means he would have been born around 1890 or 1891. His father was Peter STEWART who was a carner (granary keeper) and mother BERTELSEN.

The only record I can find of a John STEWART or John JENSEN born in New South Wales that matches the details of John STEWART from his marriage certificate is of John JENSEN b. 1891 Marrickville, New South Wales, Australia.

John JENSEN's parents were Simon Peter JENSEN and Anne Marie BERTELSEN who were married in 1888 in Queensland, Australia. They also had a daughter, Mary Magdalene JENSEN b. 1890.

Would anyone have information on the above family and if they did change their surname from JENSEN to STEWART.

Regards,
Dulcie

Re: Locating my family..Jensen's from Norway

2009-08-23 16:58:09Z

Yep, my Jensen relatives settled in Terre Haute IN. I think you have Otto mixed up with Ole, who was the father of Oscar, John, Otto and others. Supposedly your grandfather got sent to prison for bootlegging . I have been to that furniture store. My grandfather,Otto, and his brother Oscar owned a bowling alley in Terre Haute. My father was Charles, his brothers were, Jim and Jerry. All dead now. I fear the Jensen side doesn't have strong genetics for heart and blood pressure problems. Cousin Gary has a history of the family. Its on my old computer.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

In the records of Our Saviours Danish Lutheran Church, Brooklyn, New York, there are the following baptisms:

Holger Victor Stymer
- born: November 22, 1889
- baptized: February 23, 1890
- Father: Henrik Christian Stymer
- Mother: Johanne Caroline Georgine Stymer born Jensen of Greenpoint, Brooklyn
- Witnesses: John Carslund, Ane Petersen
- Baptized in church

Ernst Alfred Stymer
- born: January 9, 1892
- baptized: May 22, 1892
- Father: Henrik Christian Stymer
- Mother: Johanne Caroline Georgine Stymer born Jensen of Greenpoint, Brooklyn
- Witnesses: Osvald Clausen, Anna Petersen, Johanne Petersen
- Baptized in church

We have only completed indexing the baptism records up to 1892, so if there are later children, then they may be in the later records.

I hope this helps.

POW/MIA Korean War, JENSEN

powmiadna — 2009-08-09 00:48:42Z

I am searching for the family of two soldier with the surname JENSEN who were killed in the Korea War. When they entered service they gave their "Home of Record" as posted below. Their remains were never recovered. The Government has no family contact for these men.

Soldier: PAUL THURMAN JENSEN
Born: Feb. 25, 1930
Date of loss: July 27, 1950 MIA
Home of Record: Woodbury County, Iowa

Soldier: WILBUR DEAN JENSEN
Born: December 15, 1923
Date of loss: Feb. 25, 1951 MIA
Home of Record: Arcata, California

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. The two Jensen Families have not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (79 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find these families. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating these families.

Try to start with this website with useful links to danish genealogy:

Try the link to the danish census records and search for
the village Kjøbelev in Lollands Nørre herred, Maribo amt.

You will find some of these people there between 1840 and 1880.

Hope this helps,

He graduated from West Branch High School in 1943. Warren served in the U.S. Navy on the USS Essex during World War II.

He married Marie Myers on August 9, 1949, in Cedar Rapids. They farmed in the West Branch, West Liberty area.

He was a member of the West Branch American Legion and Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in West Liberty.

He enjoyed having coffee and telling war stories. He also kept an interest in farming. He enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife: Marie Jensen of West Liberty; two sons, Bob Jensen and wife, Betty, and Ron Jensen and wife, Rhonda, all of West Liberty; a sister, Thelma Aldeman of Iowa City; five grandchildren, Jackie Buysse and husband, Andy, of West Liberty, Emily Wilson and husband, Steve, of Cedar Rapids, Megan Zalzala and husband, Jens, of Los Angeles, California, Wade Jensen of Brooklyn, New York, and Kirsten Jensen of West Liberty; four great-grandchildren, Brooklyn, Sophie, and Madison Buysse and Reese Wilson; and several nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Orvald Jensen and a sister, Esther Weismann.
==================
WEST BRANCH, Iowa - Esther F. Jensen, 99, formerly of West Branch, died Friday November 7, 2008, at the Oaknoll Retirement Residence in Iowa City, where she had lived for more than 22 years.

She had deeded her body to The University of Iowa for medical research. Arrangements for a memorial service are pending. The Henderson-Barker Funeral Home in West Branch is in charge of arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be directed to the Iowa City Hospice or to the charity of the donor’s choice.

Esther was born on June 8, 1909, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the second of eight children of Jessie Blackburn and Howard Townsend Jones. As a young girl, she moved to Iowa when her father became a teacher at Scattergood Friends School, two miles east of West Branch, and the family settled on a farm nearby.
A lifelong Quaker, she attended the West Branch public schools, then graduated from Westtown School, a Friends boarding school near Philadelphia, where the Jones children were educated. She later graduated from Cedar Rapids Business College and worked for a time in Iowa City.

It was when she returned to Iowa after Westtown that she met her future husband, a Danish immigrant who had come to work for her father.

She married Oswald E. Jensen on March 12, 1930, in a Quaker ceremony on the Jones farm.

UncleRelic — 2009-06-29 20:31:58Z

I am looking for any living decendents/relatives of PVT. Jensen. His records indicate he was a cook and probably served in France.
His Army serial number led me to his birth information on the National Archives website.
He was born in Cook County, Ill in 1907. He was "separated, with no dependents" when he entered the service in Sept. 1942. His place of enlistment was Sacramento, CA.

I am new to Ancestry, so please direct me to any other sites if this is not the best place to start my search.

Thanks,
