When she was four, her aunt took her to Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan. They stayed there for about a year and a half. Then her parents took a homestead in Suffield, Alberta. Her mother stayed there with the children whereas her father worked for the Canadian Wheatlands. This company has thousands of sheep, the family lived in the main camp of that company.\nDecember 31, 1919, Christensen's father died of the flu. Then, the company moved the family to Medicine Hat, Alberta. There were six children in the family. Her mother remarried and the family moved to a farm in Brooks, Alberta.\nAs there was no wood on the Prairies, they had to collect what they called 'Buffalo chips'. That was their fuel. In the wintertime, they also had some coal.\nWhen she was 16, her parents moved to St. Paul, Alberta, where they bought a farm. Christensen went out to work in Edmonton and married at the age of 19.\nChristensen's daughter is present during the interview. Asked about when Christensen's family came to Canada, the daughter answers that on Christensen's father's side, they came during the French Revolution. On her mother's side (her maiden name was Lavoy). She doesn't know when her ancestors came to Canada. Christensen has a book on her family history. Her mother was born in Renfrew, Ontario, her father in Otter Lake, Quebec.\nChristensen recalls that she has lived in Edmonton for 40 years. Then they moved on a poultry farm in Olalla, BC. They lived there until 1965. After the war, they lived in Stony Plain, Alberta, where she lives now in a Senior Home.
