Cecelie Wessman

Cecelie Wessman Jensen was born January 6, 1844 in Farstorp, Kristianstad, Sweden.  Her headstone shows 1846, but her death certificate and the ship manifest indicate that she was born in 1844.

This a a famous Church in Farstop.

Genealogy family records show her Father as Alexander Magnus Wessman and her mother as Matilda Fokelson AND Bothilda Torstensdotter.  I have not yet found the Swedish birth record to confirm the name of her parents.

I'm not sure when she moved to Denmark.  She married Poul Frederiksberg Jensen in Copenhagen, Denmark on 7 April 1872.

Their first child listed is Alex Jensen, born in 1868.  The Next child listed is Charles Johan Jensen (My Great Grandfather), who was born in 1873.  Here is a list of their children:

Axel                                         1868
Charles Johan                           1873-1957

She was baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on October 28, 1883.  Records don't show her husband as joining the Church.  Charles Johan was baptized in 1884 and Agda Alvida Constance was baptized in 1903.

Cecelie immigrated to Utah in 1910 with Charles and his family.  The ship manifest shows Cecelia, Charles, Verona (Charles' wife), and their children, Carlo Paul, Alpha Constance, Paula Viola, and Martha Weroust.  The sailed on the SS Dominion from Liverpool, England on June 18, 1910.  Her daughter Agda also immigrated to Utah in 1907 and married Johannes Frederick Petersen in Utah in 1912.
