Since many of the siblings took different names. My Grandfather Peter Christian Christensen imigrated to Viborg, South Dakota in 1907. He was Candy Pete and ran the confectionary store in Viborg. His sister Helga Pedersen and brother Niels Christiansen can in 1902. There parents were Kristian and Kristine Pedersen from either Hjorring or Sindahl Denmark. I have no maiden name for Kristine, and in some records their names are spelled Christian and Christine. Does anyone have a suggestion? Most of their relatives have passed, so there is no oral history left. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
