    Notes:

    According to the marriage record, Christen was age 34 when he was married in 1815. It identifies him as Christen Jensen Foged. I don't know if that means he was a Bailiff, or if Foged was part of his family name. His father's name also has Foged after it.

    Christen married Anne Dorthe Jensdatter 21 Nov 1815, Vistoft Church, Denmark. Anne (daughter of Jens Laursen and Dorthe Sorensdatter) was born Abt 5 Nov 1786, Vistoft, Denmark. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    The name on the chart from Bodil is written: Jens Christensen (Brahe). I do not know if the name Brahe is on any of the original documents.

    Jens was "presented at Vistoft Church" on 27 Feb 1825.

  1. 4.  Ane Katrine Brahe ChristensenAne Katrine Brahe Christensen Descendancy chart to this point (3.Jens3, 2.Christen2, 1.Margrethe1) was born 20 Sep 1857, Tved, Dejret, Mols, Denmark; died 17 Sep 1888, Denmark; was buried , Graven 16, Damsogn, Aarhus, Denmark.

    Notes:

    Her name on the birth/baptismal records is Ane Cathrine Christensen.

    Ane Katrine (Brahe Christensen) Sorensen died from after-effects of childbirth in 1888, within a year after her daughter Ane Katrine Bothilde was born. Her son Julius used the name Brahe as a middle name for all his sons. The origin of this name within the family is uncertain; it is in parentheses in the birth record of her sister Maren, and is also written in Ane's marriage record to Soren. It may have come from the area around Grenaa-Ebeltoft, according to our relative Bodil.

    Is there a connection with famous Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe? At this point it is only an intriguing possibility. Read about him at the following web sites (or simply do an internet search for his name):

    Notes:

    In the birth record, the first date appears to be 31 July but that is crossed out and underneath it says 1st August, I think. The father's name is Jens Christensen, and the name Brahe is in parentheses. The mother's name is given as Bodil Cathrine Nielsdatter.

    Her confirmation record of 5 Oct 1873 also has Brahe in parentheses after her father's name.
