Kirsten Petersen

Kirsten Petersen traveled to the Salt Lake Valley in 1864.  Further research is needed to identify which company she traveled with.  However, she is found in the Perpetual Emigrating Fund records on 15 October 1863, and the Logan 1st Ward records place her in Utah on 17 October 1864. 

She and her children are found on the ship registers of Monarch of the Sea in 1864.  Her children that traveled with her are: Alma Franklin Nelson, Carrie Christina Petersen, Soren Joseph Nielsen, and Nels Nelson.
