Carol Claudine Christiansen
I have been able to find three families with the Christiansen surname living within the Oakland, Alameda, California, area between 1900 and 1910, but haven't been able to find a male with the above name, who married Carol Claudine Weidemann b. 1912 who also lived in Brooklyn Twp, Oakland, Alameda, California within that timeframe.
I am looking for a lost family member, Carol Claudine (Weidemann) Christiansen, who has been lost since after her marriage of an unknown husband named Christiansen, who no one of this next generation has ever met. Apparently after the birth of the Christiansen baby, Claudine, as she was called, died of infection immediately after the birth of the couple's first baby.
One thing I can tell you about Claudine Wiedemann (my Mother's sister) is that she died as a result of childbirth (an infection)...Her one child survived, but there seemed to be an estrangement and the Wiedemann's were not allowed much contact with here after that...I never met her or the child...
(the surviving child lived their life in the California's Bay Area, where no Weidemann ever knew where.)
