The parents Christian Hansen's and Johanne Christophersdatter's wedding #21:
Fjaler sokneprestembete, SAB/A-79801/H/Haa/Haaa/L0006: Ministerialbok nr. A 6, 1835-1884, s. 248

I was thinking that Christian might have had a "double" first name but here at #14 is his birth / baptism and no additional name.

I wonder if maybe "Johnson" might come from the English pronunciation of "Christianson". The "tj" sound in "Cristjianson" might become "chrisJohnson" -> "Johnson"?

You have done amazing work!

It might be true about the pronunciation of Christian.

Kind of unusual to inherit your name from your brothers, though!

It is our pleasure to help!
