Meaning/Pronunciation: Pronunciation: Hans-son/Hans/sen. Meaning: Patrynomic name meaning “Son of Hans,” or Johannes, which is the Danish form of John.
Origin: Danish
Variations: In this family, none, but there are enough forms of this name that everyone knows a large number—Hanson, Hansson, Jones, Johnson, etc… I’ve actually got this name in several spots on my tree—both the Bordewick spouses and the Hansen spouses have variations on the name, and will be covered on their own.
Relation to me: In this case, this is my father's mother's mother's maiden name, which is one of those Family Tree Maker annoyances, as her maiden name was the same as her husband's, and it warns you each time you use the same last name for both spouses.
Ancestors: (Most recent to least)
i: Hansen, Oline, 1886 – 1929, Fjenneslev, Denmark; Holger Hansen, 2 daughters, 1 son
ii: Rasmus Hansen, 1845 – 1895, Knudstrup, Denmark; Maren Nielsen, no children, Maren Olsen, 3 sons, 3 daughters
iii: Nielsen, Hans , abt 1816 - ?, Denmark; Maren Rasmussen, 5 sons
(this connection has not yet been confirmed)
Looking for:
Conformation that Hans and Maren are Rasmus's parents, or any alternate family information that would prove a different family ancestry. Everything from Rasmus and his wife and down we are certain of, so it is only their ancestry that is in question, and any siblings they might have had. I have been told that Oline and her brother Hans came over to the states in the 1800s with family, so I assume that is either one of Rasmus or Maren's siblings's families.

I just have to say that Rasmus is the coolest name of all time. Sorry I can't help with what you're trying to confirm, but I just thought I'd throw that out there...
It is a fun name. It is also, unfortunately, a *VERY* common first name for boys in Denmark. It's like naming your son William or Robert here in the states.
