| Lauritz Christensen
Letter, 30 November 1936 On November 30, 1936, Lauritz Christensen wrote a fascinating letter to his daughter Carrie, in which he gave specific information about the maiden name and place of birth of Sophie Nielsen, Carrie's mother, and himself. (Carrie may have needed this information to complete an application for the then new Social Security program, which required the applicant to give their "mother's full maiden name.")
