History
Christian
Pensgard (1884?-1958) came to America from
Stavanger, Norway in about 1899 at the age of 15. In a Norwegian
neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, Christian met and married
Severena, or just Rena, who was from Haugesund, Norway
(maiden name Hauukensen? Hawkinson? Second husband
Brooks), and had three sons and one daughter - Roy,
Clarence, Thelma, and Charles. Currently, it
seems, all
American Pensgards are descended from or related by marriage to
Christian and Severena.

origin of the name itself, please visit the
