I'm still seeking information about my Great-Granddad - Christen Pedersen/Christian Petersen. He was born November 3, 1861 - possibly around Hadersleben/Haderslev. Last probable record of him in the old country indicated he lived at Wandling (nearest town is Wilstrup and the Parish is probably Starup.) Hadersleben is now Haderslev in Denmark. His parents (according to his death certificate) were Cristen (or Peter) Pedersen and Mary Ellen Schmidt. Whether this is correct is unknown. His siblings included Peter, Claus, Jacob, Mary, Anna, Lizzie and Lena. Peter and Jacob came to American and stayed; Claus came over also but went back home. At least one sister came Stateside and lived in California. Chris married Hattie Neiswender while living in Kansas. They later moved to Oklahoma and both are buried at the cemetery in Fargo, OK. Does anyone have any hints on how to obtain more information from the old country or is there anyone out there who is related by way of one of Chris's siblings? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sheryl OK P.S. If your people happen to be from Schleswig-Holstein during the 1860's, there a wonderful search site that sure helped me. http://www.rootdigger.de/index.htm
