One the family group sheet for Christen Nielsen and Mette Christophersen, Mette's birth date is given as ABT 1718, her baptism date as 2 Dec 1949; and her endowment date as 23 Feb 1950. On the sheet for her parents, Christopher and (unknown), however, her birth date is given as ABT 1710; her baptism date as 25 Sep 1928; and her endowment date as 1 Feb 1929. Birth place, death date, and husband all correspond exactly, so it seems quite certain that these are not two separate women. Perhaps her temple work was done twice?
There are entries on the family group sheet of Christopher Christensen and Kirsten Jacobsen under the heading "Sealed to parents" for all four of the sealable children which were illegible. (One child is not sealable since he was stillborn.) SOURCES: 1. F Den Praesto A2 Pt. 1-2 2. Census Lists 1787 3. F Den 1 Pt. 28 4. Probate Records F Den 41 Pt. 188 5.
