Hi, Does anyone have any Christianson(might also be spelled Christensen,Christiansen,or Christenson) ancestors from Dunn County? I'm trying to find out information on my greatgrandmother Thora Christianson. She was born in 1901, probably in Norway. According to the 1920 census she was living in Colfax,Dunn County,WI working as a servant. She later married William Burling in Colfax. I appreciate any help anyone might be able to give me in finding out more about Thora and her family. Happy Holidays,Nikole

According to the 1830 census, Thora Burling was living in Chippewa Falls with her husband and children. It also says she emigrated in 1912. Have you checked their marriage certificate to see if it tells more specifically her place of birth? It would also give her parents' names. In the 1920 census her name was spelled Christenson. Both censuses indicate she was born in Norway.
