Christine Andrea Christensen was one of ten children born to (Jens) Peter and Caroline Christensen. She was born in Saeby, Denmark on November 26, 1877 and came to the United States in 1884 with her mother and her sisters Amelia and Jennie and and her brother Olaf. Her father had come to the United States several years earlier to prepare a home for his family. He had homesteaded land that was later turned over to the Keweenaw Land Company by the government so he moved his family and started again. He left behind the grave of his one year old son Alvin who was buried in the field. For a number of years the home of the family was a log and sod house with a dirt floor.
{Sometime between 1889 and 1907] she worked as a dressmaker in a shop owned by her sister Jennie.
