Jens Kristian Hansen was born in Vejle, Denmark, located in Jutland, born to Hans Knudsen and Christine Jensdatter. He married Else Katrine Larsen in 1885, and the two had a farm where they raised their 8 children. The farm did not provide very well, so Jens made extra money using his masonry skills. He taught his skill to at least one of his sons, and in the early 1900s, he and his son Holger got the contract to build their local train station when the tracks were finally laid in town. Holger left soon after, setting off for America, and another of his brothers for England, where the two settled and raised families. Jens lived in Vejle with his wife Else until the day he died.
