Amund Jensen (my great-grandfather - mor-far-far) was a carpenter and cabinet maker by trade.
He was born on Mar 27,1815 at Stadumsengen, Gran, Hadeland, Norway.
He married Berthe Johnsdatter (Jan 26,1823-Mar 28,1903) at Grans Hovedkirke on Nov 23, 1843.
They had two sons: James (Sep 16,1848-!!) and John (May 6, 1853-Sep 14,1936) my maternal grandfather)
Amund was living at Østenbranden fram in Hadeland when he emigrated to the US.
Although they are missing from the information concerning the ship Christiane, Amund sailed with his wife (Berthe) and two sons (John and James).
Amund died in Argyle, Wisconsin soon after their arrival in the US - probably of a ruptured appendix. The date we have for his death is Mar 1861 !!. This must be incorrect if the ship did not arrive leave Christiania until Apr 24, 1861.
