kathleenswanson444 — 2009-11-21 06:49:13Z

Sorry I don't know much about the Hansons, My grandmother was a Hanson by birth, Father was Hans Hanson, mother was Helen (we think) my grandmothers name was Anna Hanson, only child of Hans and his second wife Helen. Helen died when my grandmother was either 3 0r 4 years old. She was adopted by Jacob and Caroline Heiber. All of this taking place in Iowa. We know very little except my grandmother met her half sister when she was in her 70's. She also found out she had two older brothers by then deceased. I don't think this is the family you are looking for. Good luck

Seeking info on my great grandmother, Helen Olivia Hanson/Hansen, b. About 1841 in New York d. 19 Nov 1921 probably Ohio or Illinois. She was married to Jonathan Shaw b.29 June 1828, Chester, NH.

They moved west to Minnesota and settled in Rochester, MN. They were separated about 1890 and Helen lived for a time near her son in Mansfield, Ohio. Would like to know her burial location, state of death, or any info from 1901 to her death in 1921. Have not been able to locate her in census records.

Re: Mary Hanson of Ohio

charlieshrly — 2009-11-05 03:18:22Z

in Ohio's early history, Morgan, Washington, and Noble county lines moved back and forth some. My family line shows a Mary Hanson, daughter to Peter Hanson and Amelia (Isreal) Hanson. Peter was born in 1795, Amelia was born 1793. that would make them about the right age to have a daughter, possible Mary in 1824. I am just beginning to research this part of the family. other children of Peter are Rachel, William, Nancy, Sara A.,Reuben, Robert, Samuel,Leander and Hamilton. per Morgan County History 1886, by Robertson. page 465 3rd paragraph. if this is your family or even if it is not but have run across this family in your research, I would like a reply.

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,
Phil Reed Halfhill

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,

POW/MIA Korean War

powmiadna — 2009-11-02 12:40:30Z

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave FAIRFIELD COUNTY< CONNECTICUT as his home of record. His remains were never recovered. Our government has no family contact at this time for this soldier

Soldier: ELLWOOD FRANK HANSON
Born:1923
Date of loss: April 25, 1951

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (79years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

hjarrod21 — 2009-10-03 02:59:14Z

both never married. they owned the farm that my great grandmother worked for. basically their maid. when they died, they willed their estate to her. her name was emma thompson. this gets weird. she had a daughter francis, who ended up marrying my grandpa archie hanson. and as far as we know, our hanson clan has no relationship with the other hansons from emmas past. so in the end, hanson carried on only through name, not blood.

Half aunt really. Her mother Margaret was my ggggrandmother. I'm sure you have found what you were looking for in the last nine years but if there is anything you don't have email me and I will see if I have it.

Chris Hanson and Carrie Ann Kelley

clovischristy — 2009-08-08 00:35:37Z

Hello, looking for info on a Chris Hanson (born denmark or Illinois) and Carrie Ann Kelley (b. 1861, Illinois). They had two children in Nebraska - Chris in 1888 and Callie May in 1890. Carrie later moved to Iowa and remarried to Garrit Cobb.

Descendants of HINSONs of Olde Dobbs Co., NC and derivative counties

jonavery — 2009-08-02 19:23:15Z

Use of DNA to straighten out HINSONs of Dobbs & Wayne Co., NC, 1760-1810.

There are several HINSON men named in land transactions in Olde Dobbs and Wayne counties in NC during the years 1760-1810. Several given names continue to appear over and over again in later generations. Examples are George, James, Joseph, Jeremiah, Jessee, Joshua, Elijah, Moses, William and perhaps Abraham.

There is a theory, backed by a handwritten HINSON/HANSON family history, which, with some DNA testing, may help us to straighten these lines out somewhat.

If you are male, or know a male, who has an unbroken male line of descent from some of these HINSONs, and want to consider having the male DNA tested toward this objective, read on...

The Theory:
George HINSON emigrated from England to the colonies. In Virginia, he met and married Margaret MOZINGO, as his 2nd wife between 1741 and 1754. The family moved to Olde Dobbs Co., NC. George HINSON died shortly after Oct 1772 in Olde Dobbs Co., NC. George HINSON and Margaret MOZINGO had at least seven, perhaps eight, children: Elijah, William, James, Moses, Jessee, Joseph, Jeremiah and perhaps Aaron. These brothers purchased land in Olde Dobbs, Wayne and adjacent counties, but many of the descendants of these brothers moved to other states, such as Ohio, Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas and Texas.

The Sources:
The most important source is the "Hanson Family Record", handwritten by Alfonso Bernardo HANSON in 1961. This is important because it names George HINSON, names his wife Margaret MOZINGO and names his sons. Court records of Westmoreland Co., VA confirm the relationship between George HINSON and Margaret MOZINGO as does the will of Edward MOZINGO, Margaret MOZINGO's uncle, The last record of George HINSON is in Olde Dobbs Co., NC court records where he is exempted from taxes and public duties because he was aged and infirm.

George HINSON's sons: Elijah, William, James, Moses, Jessee, Joseph, Jeremiah and perhaps Aaron show up in land transactions and tax rolls in and around Olde Dobbs Co., as early as 1765 (James) while Joseph, Jeremiah, Elijah, and Jessee show up in the following years.

My wife's line descends from George HINSON's son Elijah who served in the Revolutionary War from 1778-1779 in the 3rd North Carolina Regiment - this is supported by a published copy of his discharge papers, and DAR records. Elijah shows in land transactions from 1779 to 1789. Around 1779 Elijah HINSON married Susannah SCRIVENS, a Quaker, who was disowned from the Society for that marriage, but was later reinstated. Their 10 children were raised as Quakers and much of the family information comes from Hinshaw's "Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy". Elijah HINSON died in Feb 1802 and, by 1805, Susannah and her 10 children migrated to Belmont Co. Ohio. The name change from HINSON to HANSON occurred during the time of this migration. I won't bother with discussing this line any more right now.

I do not have anywhere near as much information regarding George HINSON's other sons William, James, Moses, Jessee, Joseph, Jeremiah and perhaps Aaron. But other people claim to. And I want to take advantage of that!

The Role of DNA:
As many of you know, certain DNA markers are passed, virtually unchanged from father to son, to son, to son and so on. My brother-in-law, Bruce HANSON has a proven unbroken male direct ancestry through the Belmont Co. OH HANSONs back to George and Elijah HINSON mentioned above. That means his DNA matches that of George and Elijah HINSON!

But more importantly, that means that his DNA matches any other direct male descendant of George HINSON and his sons William, James, Moses, Jessee, Joseph, Jeremiah and perhaps Aaron!

What you can do:
If you are, or if you know of, any currently living direct unbroken male descendant of the HINSONs of Olde Dobbs Co., NC, then consider having that male DNA tested by FamilyTreeDNA or an equivalent. DNA testing is safe, convenient, painless, private and relatively inexpensive (under $100). Many other HINSONs HANSONs and similar surnames have had their DNA tested. If you descend from the Dobbs Co., NC HINSONs/HANSONs, and IF your DNA matches Bruce HANSON's DNA, then we will be able to start proving this theory and take the genealogy of the Dobbs Co., HINSONs back another generation or so. If you want to learn more about the HINSON/HANSON DNA project, check out:

http://www.familytreedna.com/public/hanson/default.aspx

And consider having your DNA tested and joining the project.

If you have other questions about this theory, you may address them to me at jeavery@vt.edu. If you have questions about the DNA project, address them to the coordinator of the HANSON DNA project.

Good luck - Jon

I';m Jon Avery and I'm researching the John HANSON (1st Pres) line for my wife and Brother-in-law who are HANSONs. I'm trying to utilize DNA technology to help straighten out the Charles Co. HANSON descendants. SO...

Does anybody in this thread know of a direct, unbroken, male line of descent from John HANSON (1st Pres) or his father or his grandfather down to a living male descendant?

Please reply to this thread or communicate directly with me at jeavery@vt.edu if you have any information about such a descendant or if you have a question about how to use DNA technology in this pursuit.

I know your family tree. My mother Jacqueline Angelina Valpina Lindsay (nee Hanson) was sister to Earnest Sidney Valpina Hanson. She passed on the family history to me during her lifetime. Earnest was my uncle I remember well enough. Arthur was gassed in WW1 but survived and his brother died at the Battle of Coronel 1914 serving in the Royal Navy. The ship was the HMS Good Hope. I know much more than this and intend to write it.
Warm regards

I'm his Great Great Grandson, I've got copies of a variety of info that my father had in Lewis's Deeds Box, via the custome of eldest son to eldest son, all the way to me!
I still check on him (his plot anyway) each time I go through Ballarat.
Always keen to discuss what else has been discovered.

It'good to here from you. My mother and father seperated about 60 years ago and that ended any comunication with the Hansons in DC. However as a youg boy my father James told me that I and my brothers were related to john Hanson waho was the first zpresident of the USA. This idea stayed dormant until 2000 when the bicentenial celebration brought to Philadelphia a meeting of the John Hanson society and opened up interest in this relationship. I have a book defending this man and he was in fact the President of one of the Contential Congress assembled. If you have any knowledge of this relationship I would be interested in sharing my data with you and hopefully come to a conclusion ahout the truth in this relationship.

Re: Edward Delahay Hanson

karengoor — 2009-07-17 15:21:09Z

I have an Edward Delahay Hanson in my tree born in Whaplode Lincs in 1795 to Wiliiam Hanson and Mary Delahay. I believe he was a miller and a baker and married Ann Ancient in Whaplode in 1822.
His older brother Richard born in 1794 was my ancestor.
Their father William was born around 1759 and died in 1821 in Whaplode. Their mother Mary was born in 1770 in Whaplode and married William Hanson 14th June 1791 in Whaplode. She died there in 1858 and was buried at St Marys church Whaplode.
As well as Richard and Edward there were other children, William born 1792, Elizabeth born 1809, Marianne born 1806, Martha born 1815, Rebecca born 1804 and Sarah born 1799.
I hope that is useful for you and I have further information on the Delahay family if you are interested.
Regards

Mary Hanson of Ohio

msreese_1 — 2009-07-14 15:16:23Z

I have am seeking information about Mary Hanson. I have little to go on. I found her name on her son's death certificate. It lists his parents as Elijah Ward and Mary Hanson. Sylvester was born in Washington County, OH in 1850. I know that Mary Hanson Ward was born in Ohio. I do not know what year. I know that Elijah was born in 1824 in Ohio. I believe he was from Washington or Noble County (from cencus info). In 1870 he was in Ross County and is married to a woman named Felinda. But back in Washington County in 1880. So I suspect my Mary Hanson may have been from Washington County since that is where Sylvester was born and Elijah spent much of his life there.

Re: Looking for my half brother Kenneth Hanson from MN.

Rustysharky — 2009-07-13 09:17:39Z

Hi Diana it's odd that I found your post - I am also looking for Kenny, have you found anything yet? My father was his half-brother as well. Grandma died in the 90's by the way, not 85. My fahter was her child from a previous marriage before she married your father. He was a truck driver and lived in Great Grandma Carson's house on 4th street in Grand Forks, ND until the floods where I lost contact after everyone evacuated. His house was ruined and he moved away. He was a truck driver so he could be anywhere. At the time he was not married and had no children but that may have changed. My father recently passed away, and I literally have no other family except Kenny. His birthday is March 3rd, 1964 and his middle name is Lee.

Dear Sandra:

I found this message you posted long ago, and the reply you received from Norway. Thorer Hanson/Hansen is the GGG grandfather of my wife's children. She would be pleased to hear from you and to share some interesting family connections.

Both John(Johan) and Farley(Fahle) was born i Woxtorp, Halland 1858 and 1855.My grandfather Karl J Hanson was a representative for John Gustaf Jerling when his mother Lovisa died 1931. I am also interested in Fahles(Farley´s) where abouts the few years he stayed in America.
