Christian Nielsen KJER
Ancestral File states that Carl was christened/blessed in Hvorup, Aalborg, Denmark by the LDS Elders.
Family files have asserted that Emma Jensen's sealing line is through Christian Kjer, due to the understanding that all of a woman's children belong to the first husband she is sealed to. While temple sealings no longer follow this policy, there still remains the fact that Gertrude Pedersen was not sealed to Christian Kjer during her lifetime, thus it could not have been a sealing line. Gertrude Pedersen was married to Mads Jensen 27 Jan 1855 in Salt Lake, and sealed to him on 1 Apr 1857 in the Endowment House. Either way, current policy states that a woman should be sealed to each husband she was married to, and to each man she had children with, and that the children should be sealed to their biological father.
