Jorgen Niels Christensen was born September 7, 1755 in Hasmark, Odense, Denmark on the island of Fyn and was christened November 23, 1755. His parents were Christen Niels Jacobsen and Kirsten Jorgensen both of whom were born near Odense on the island of Fyn, Denmark.
Jorgen married Elsie Marie Jensen October 18, 1779 Bederslev, Odense, Denmark. During the late 1700's when Jorgen was living, Denmark was prospering because of its neutral status politically.
He was raised on the Island of Fyn, the third largest island in Denmark which has 444 named islands with only 76 inhabited. The main city on the island of Fyn is Odense which is the birthplace of the author, Hans Christian Andersen.
There are over 120 castles on the island of Fyn; some of them date back to the 14th century; many of them are open for public tours. The people who built them felt they needed to have their homes be fortifications.
The many islands of Denmark and the peninsula are together known as the Danish Archipelago. Denmark long controlled the approach to the Baltic Sea; the only access was through the water around Denmark known as the Danish straits. This caused the ships to have to travel many nautical miles to go around the Archipelago.
The first connection from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea was when the Eider Canal was built in 1784 during Jorgen's lifetime. This used the Eider River and the canal itself was only 27 miles long. It was limited to fairly small vessels. The present canal called the Kiel Canal was constructed one hundred years later from June 1887- June 1895. The canal was enlarged between 1907 and 1914 and was made large enough for battleships to go through the locks. Most large cruise ships cannot go through the canal but a few have been built so that masts, etc. can be lowered and they can go through the canal. An average of 250 nautical miles are saved by going through the canal.
Jorgen died February 18, 1804 in Vellinge, Odense, Denmark

Ninety Eight municipalities have local governments which are under the direction of regional governments which in Elsie's time were known as counties.
