Hi Rodney,
My e-mail is still the same, you may have inadvertenly left out one letter.I have learned much on my Danish great-grandfather since these earlier postings of mine.I doubt that our two Hanson lines connect.Here is my updated information:
James Peter Hanson b-Sept. 14, 1858 in Denmark as Jens Peter Hansen d-July 16, 1944 Lincoln Twp. Washington Co. MN (in the area of Mahtomedi); buried at Lakeview Cemetery, North St. Paul, MN
Survived by 3rd wife, Emma (Roth) Hanson b-1872 Germany d-1966 Wash. Co. MN (also buried at Lakeview Cemetery) & their son James Roth Hanson b-Aug. 19, 1914 Wash. Co. MN; also survived by Robert Arendal Hanson (my grandfather) b-July 28, 1885 Stillwater, MN & "Bessie", Elizabeth Arendal (Hanson) Cover b-May 21, 1889 Stillwater, MN, 2 of his 3 children with 1st wife, "Anna", Anete (Peterson) Hanson; Pre-deceased by his eldest son, Arthur Arendal Hanson b-Jan. 6, 1885 Stillwater, MN who d-Dec. 24, 1934 Aberdeen, Brown Co. SD; also survived by FOUR SISTERS, but their names were not listed in his obituary.
My great-grandmother, "Anna", Anete (Peterson) Hanson, who J.P. married on April 17, 1884 Stillwater, MN (& divorced around 1900) was b-Sept. 18, 1855 Oslo, Norway; came to the US from Arendal, Norway on May 27, 1881 as Thonette Edvardsen (her age was given as 28 on emmigration records, so her birth date is still in question).She d-Sept. 21, 1943 Chippewa Falls, WI at the home of her daughter & was buried on Sept. 24, 1943 in Fairview Cemetery, Stillwater, MN.
My g-grandfather's 2nd marriage was to Anna Harrigan & also ended in divorce.No issue from this union.James Peter Hanson was a Justice of the Peace for 25 yrs. in Mahtomedi, MN.
On the marriage certificate of my great-grandparents, the witnesses are listed as Gerig Hansen & Annie Hansen & I'm still trying to determine if they were related to my g-grandfather.I would very much like to learn of my g-grandfather's siblings & any possible descendants of theirs, as well as anything additional on his parents & Danish ancestors.
I have contributed photos & history on this family branch of mine to the Washington Co. MN Genweb project & highly recomend others with families from this county in Minnesota to likewise.This is the web link:
