still there, The birth date for Marit must be wrong as Thorsten was born in 1837 Goro in 1832

I recently found this blog.

I am Ole Hanson and Nellie May Rose's grandson, Phillip, the son of Muriel Audrey Bernetta Hanson, their youngest daughter.

If I can be of assistance, I will.

I know alot of the history and was told alot as I grew up. I knew my uncles Robert, Bunny, Bill, Ted, Ole Hanson jr., my aunts Nell, Doris and Marjorie...but only corresponded with Lloyd at a distance.

Don't believe everything the press said about Ole...He was an amazing human being. Ole was a progressive and an ally of Teddy Roosevelt. He backed the 8 hr. day, worker's comp, women's right to vote, minimum wage...

Best Regards,
Phil Reed Halfhill

Dear David,

I am Ole Hanson's grandson, Phillip. I realize I have found your inquiry late.

How can I be of assistance?

Son of Muriel Hanson
The daughter of Ole Hanson and Nellie May Rose

I am great great granddaughter of Marit Hansdatter Snerle, who was sister to Thorston Hanson, Ole's father.

Dear Marit,

Wonderful to connect with you!

I was raised in a house where Ole's portrait was on the wall, with a ton of art objects and antiques about that he aquired. I slept on a bed that was once the king of Spains, or on another one that was made for Napolean Bonaparte.

I lived with my aunt Nell, Ole's eldest daughter, my aunt Marjorie and Uncle Theodore Roosevelt Hanson, as well as my mother, Muriel, of course.

I have quite a bit of ancestry info on Ole Hanson's wife, Nellie May Rose, but very little on my grandfather, being that the Norwegian amount of Hansons, Hansens, etc. is mindboggling. I found where Ole had moved his parents to Seattle from Wisconsin. Short of going to Gudbrendstahl, it is hard for me to trace Ole's line. Can you help? I'd love to share with you what I know about Ole (and believe me, I know alot) and I'd love to know what you may know about our Norwegian heritage.

I am a psychosocial rehabilitation specialist in Idaho, The Magic Valley. I have been to San Clemente more than once (always get the best of welcomes there) and am proud of my grandfather's accomplishments.

If you prefer, and I would like this, please write me directly at philreedhalfhill@yahoo.com

Respectfully Yours,
