After a very early ferry from Norway to Sweden and a long, rainy drive down the Swedish coast, we arrived in Denmark and drove to Langeland Island. Langeland is a small, neat island where my great grandfather, Christian Christensen, was born. We found the little town of Lindelse and the church where he was baptized and confirmed. It was fun to think about what it might have looked like in the late 1800’s when Christian left Denmark. We wish we had more time to spend on Langeland. Above is a picture of our Christian in the Lindelse church, where another young man, also named Christian, once stood.
