- Nels?

- Ancestry.com has a marriage record for a Niels Christensen and Margrethe Olsen in Copenhagen, Denmark on 2 JUN 1873. Niels is 22 years old, and Margrethe is 24 years old. No real indication this is them for sure, just a lead.

Given the christening date just about a month after his date of birth and the fact that Lading is a very small town/area, I think it is highly probable that this shows the parents of Niels Christensen as Christen Caspersen and Karen Marie Nielsdotter. If correct, then the following link goes back one more generation:

Don't think this is him, including just in case.
- At one time I had more information listed for Niels and his parents, but I no longer think it is reliable or correct.
I had 3 Feb 1858 as his birth in Skjoldelev, Lading, Sabro, Århus, Denmark. That information came from an Ancestry.com record, but I no longer believe it is for our Niels Christensen (or if it is, is surrounded by so much other incorrect information as to be unreliable).
Based on that birth date and location, and had decided that Niel's parents were Christen Caspersen (born 1826 in Denmark) and Karen Marie Nielsdotter (born 1828 in Denmark). There is a baptism record (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XYLN-WBF) for Niels in Lading on May 9, 1858. Given the small town and the baptism close to his birth date, these are probably the parents of that Niels Christensen. But since I can't rely on the birth date/location, I'm not confident they are in our line.
The marriage record for Christen and Karen (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FVT5-44G) provides information on each of their parents.
It is possible that I will be able to establish the birth information for Niels more accurately, so leaving this here for future reference.
