Afadavit of Martin Christensen
Supporting the birth record of Ilo Christensen
summarized as found in
Racine County Registry of Deeds
Filed 11 AUG 1939
 
  • Martin living 2410 Kinzie Ave, Racine
  • Ilo Christina Christensen was born 9 JUN 1891 in Raymond, Racine, WI
  • of Nels Madsen Christensen and Anna Marie Larsen
  • siblings: Martin, Anna, James, Benjamin, Lewis, Joseph, Ezra
This is a key document for me in that there exist several Nels Christensen's in Racine County fathering children in the same time frame. In addition, Nels had two wives and the two groups of children never appear together in census documents, so there was a question whether it was the same Nels. This document lists the 7 siblings that I had identified from the two distinct wives in their precise birth order. It also excludes the other potential candidates.

For Martin's correct relationship see Anne Larsen's afadavit.
