Notes for CHRISTIAN SVENDSEN:
Christian Svendsen was raised by
Mads Larsen & Oline Christoffersdatter from some point early in life. He may be a foster child, he may be a relative. His parents appear to be Svend Johannessen & Elene/Helene Johansdatter at birth and baptism in Vestre Toten. He is with Mads Larsen & Oline Christoffersdtr. at his confirmation on 4 Oct 1846 when Lars Madsen, son of Mads Larsen & Oline Christoffersdtr., was also confirmed.

Confirmation: 04 Oct 1846, at age 14 1/2. Confirmed with Lars Madsen, Also born 1832.

NOTE: This research may have holes in it since we know nothing more about this family, why Christian was raised by Mads Larsen & Oline Christoffersdtr and if so, how might the other children have been raised or were they already adults. It is possible that Christian lived with Mads Larsen & Oline Christoffersdtr only shortly before confirmation. We don't know.  

What happened to this couple: Svend Johansen & Helene Johansdatter? Why did Christian go to live with Mads Larsen & Oline Christoffersdtr?
