Jens PETERSON

                   Haarbolle is on the island of Mon.

Christian was christened as Christian Larsen. His father was Lars Jensen. He was later adopted, either formally or informally by Jens Petersen, his mother's 2nd husband. In any case he assumed the Petersen  (Peterson) name. It is interesting to note that when he was endowed, he gave his parents names as Lars Jensen and Mary Franzen (Americanized version of Maren Christiansen - her father's name was Christian Frantzen).

Christian was ordained an Elder, Endowed and Married (Sealed) on April 11, 1978 in the Endowment House in Salt Lake. The ordinances were performed by Joseph F. Smith.

Christian served a mission in Denmark, leaving Price on 14 February 1900 and returning to Price on
21 May 1902.

SP info from LeVern Adam's "History of Christian Jensen Petersen", copy of  2 page document in possession of Thomas Maxfield. The proxy was his half-brother Gilbert Petersen. This sealing was to Maren Stine Christiansen and Jens Petersen.

Vera Boren's history of Christian Peterson says that Christian worked on both the St. George and Manti temples.

When they moved to the Uintah Basin, the Nephi Branch of the Duchesne Ward was formed on 23 Sep 1906 and Christian Peterson was called as the first Presiding Elder.
                  

                   From Ancestral File AFN: 1WWD-6C is birth date of 4 Mar 1860(which is prior to parent's marriage date), death, burial, name. I do not believe this to be correct. See sources.

Also from  Ord Index: name is Annie Peterson Downard;  parents are Jens Peterson and Maren Christina Christiansen Peterson and ordinances are baptism pre-1970, endowed pre-1970, SP 31 Jul 1934 MANTI, film 170502, p. 471, ord. #17217. Source is LDS church ordinance. This is probably a living ordinance. SHOULD CHECK FILM.

Assume Downard is married name. Possible descendant is Carol Downard, PO 2168, Hailey, ID

Burial date is from pedigree resource file submitted by Carol Downard.

Vera Boren has SP as 7 May 1930. This is incorrect.
