Anna Christine Knudsen Forsgren

Anna Christine Knudsen and her parents must have been in the same company as Peter A. Forsgren. This quote “Peter A. Forsgren, Jens Knudsen (Anna Christine’s father), and --Sorensen were unanimously proposed and accepted to give these talks” is from a journal of the trip by ship.  Peter and Anna Christine were married in Keokuk upon their arrival there.

In an unusual home industry requiring the attention of the whole family, Christine Forsgren made 130 yards of silk during the 1880’s using a loom her weaver husband, Peter Forsgren – Mormonism’s first convert in Scandinavia – made for her.
