The Story of the Christenot Cousins

Genealogy is the study of the history of families, especially through studying historical documents to discover the relationships between particular people and their families. When we juxtapose a family’s story against the backdrop of the cultural happening of their time, we may begin to understand the decisions they made in their lives. This page will lead to stories of the Christenot Family against the backdrop of history. Coming soon….

There are many stories to tell. We’ll start with Benjamin Franklin Christenot, and Charles Frederick Christenot and his second wife, Martha (Craig) Wilton Christenot, and branch out to their fourteen children. If you’re a Christenot Cousin and can help with those stories, please contact us.
