Pearl is the starting point for the archive’s Christensen and Scandinavian research.
Pearl’s institutional biography records her birth in Salt Lake City in 1889 and death in Edmonton in 1982. It names Joseph Mads Christensen and Emma Christensen as her parents and records her marriage to Joseph Young Card.
