Chris Robertsen

PLEASE NOTE:

I am listing the two Smart Record Matches fully aware of the more obvious problem of incompatibility of names because of the ambivalence of record concerning the issue. In all likelihood, Chris was originally also known as Rasmus Rasmussen. This is also the name attributed to his father. There is however the detail given on various other historical record forms per to his date of birth, and as well, the name: Rasmus Christian Rasmussen. I will be gathering my findings in the near future to hopefully clarify some of the confused information. Jlphawn

(While not conclusive, unquestionable evidence ... nonetheless, how Robert cites his father's name on this historical record is I believe compelling grounds for suspecting that "Rasmus Rasmussen" so identified in the earliest records (as the previous Baptism record identification of: Rasmus Christian Rasmusen, a son of Rasmus Rasmusen & Ane Kerstine Stephansdr, and as Hansine Jakobine Kristinsin's groom while the two were yet in Denmark, and as Marte's biological father) was also "Chris Robertson" who (for whatever reason) she married a second time, following Emigration to the U.S. It is upon the "Iowa, Counties" Marriage Record for the pair, that "Chris's" parents are named: Rasmus and Ane Rasmusen. It would be a natural outcome that as part of his "Americanizing" his Danish surname from Rasmussen to Robertson, it would make sense he likewise abandoned his given "Rasmus" and modified from "Christian to Chris" his middle name. Lastly... a Baptism/Christening as dated October 8 1854, would support the majority of references for "Chris' " date of birth as occurring in September 1854) Jlphawn
