Hi Thorwald and Julie - I hope you can still get emails.
I apologise that I never responded to your note from 2005.
I have changed my email address to
danishkiwi@slingshot.co.nz and I am now starting again to find information about Maren. I am wondering if she was an aunt of or maybe an older sister of my great great grandmother, Karen Esbensen b. in Nørre Snede, Skanderborg, DK on 12th November 1865. Karen's father was Mikkel ESBENSEN and her mother Ane Marie BERG.
She married my paternal great grandfather Mads CHRISTENSEN b. 24/06/1855 in the parish of Tjæreby, a small village outside Hillerød, in Denmark
His father was Christen MADSEN and his mother Kirsten PEDERSEN both also born in Tjæreby.
They married at the house of Mr Rasmus ANDERSEN, bootmake of Halcombe - a small township out of Palmerston North, NZ on 28th May, 1887. He was the husband of Maren ESBENSEN.
If you or your relations get this email, please reply to the above address.
Happy New Year and I look forward to hearing from you. My father, Ian Malcolm CHRISTENSEN is aged 87 and still in good health and spirits, so I am hoping you are the same.
