Hello .
..I am a descendent of Christan Jensmailto:en born, 1822 or 23 in Copenhagen.(.parents Yansen and Bertha Jensen... their names were entered on his wedding certificate feb 2nd 1859 in Australia.]
Christian sailed to Australia on the Hempsyke August 1853 age 31........................
.I have all genealogical information of his family history from that time, but nothing previous...........
I would welcome any help in how to trace his previous history. as I do not understand the C.D that is available in our library collection , as alot of information is linked to farm names and areas
We are coming to Norway in July, on a coach tour, and would even be pleased to know the area that the family came from
With very best wishes from Australia
