According to his obituary, Christian was "a native of Rendsburg, Holstein, Germany". Holstein was one of those areas that were ruled at different times throughout out history by Denmark, Prussia, Germany, Napoleon, the Holy Roman Empire, or other European powers. The family considered themselves German, but at the time of Christian's birth, the Duchy of Holstein was part of Denmark.
His father, Hans Christian Theodor BANNICK, died in Holstein a few years before Christian's and his brother Johannes (John)'s immigration to the US in 1872. Their sister Wilhelmine and their mother Henriette followed them to the US about nine years later, finally settling in San Francisco after nearly a decade residence in NYC. It is unknown what happened to their sister, Helene Johanne Henriette, who it is believed, never emigrated from Germany.
