Name: Hans Nielsen
Birth: March 9, 1816 in Knudstrup, Denmark.
Death: March 10, 1893, Sorø, Denmark
Marriage: 1844
Location(s): Alsted, Denmark
Relation to me: Hans Nielsen is my paternal grandmother's mother's father's father, which makes him 6th generation before me.
Alias(es): None known at this time.
Parents: Niels Andersen & Ane Marie Rasmussen
Spouse(s): Maren Rasmussen
Children: Hanne, Sophie, Ole, Niels, Maren, Rasmus, Jorgen, Niels, Anders, Jens, Ane Lisbeth Other Family: Siblings: Kirsten, Anders, Maren, Jorgen, Christian, Christiane, Inger, & Catherine; Anders Hansen & Inger Jensen and Rasmus Rasmusen Ibsen & Sidse Nielsdatter, grandparents.
Details: As you can see if you read the original entry, my knowledge of Hans has grown by leaps and bounds. Not only does he have parents, but he has grandparents, and even great grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, and so much more. I still have limited records on him, but what I do know goes so much further back in time. The Census records I have found on this family gave me much of the information I now have. It looks as though he was farming the land that my great-great grandfather eventually took over and ran until his death shortly before 1900. He seems to have handed off the farm to Rasmus before his death, as he and his wife are listed on one Census as the "elder farmer" (for lack of a better term), and on another all on their own.
Proof:
1) My initial proof for Hans came from Rasmus's birth record found at Family Search, but I was unable to confirm it until I had found several of the Census records I now have.
2) My major proof for both Hans and his wife, as well as much of the rest of this branch of the family, comes from Census records, starting in 1850, and going through to the 1880 Danish Census. After that, I have no records of this family at all aside from Rasmus and his family.
New Proofs I have found of Hans:
1) I have a birth record for him listing his parents, which confirms his birthdate at March 9, 1816.
2) I also have his confirmation record in 1830, which also lists his parents.
3) And I have his wedding record, listing his wedding date to Maren as December 15, 1843.4) I now have a marriage record for one of his daughters that lists him as her father.
5) I have a conformation record for Rasmus Hansen, which lists his parents.
6) I have several birth records for his children.
7) And also some confirmation records for one of his children.
Needed:
This isn't a detailed listing of all the information I have on Hans, but as you can see, his line goes back far enough, and the information I have on him is detailed enough that I really have no need to focus on him anymore. At least not for a while. So here's to success story number two.
Original Post
I don't have any major other posts about Hans Nielsen, but any posts about his son (Rasmus Hansen) and granddaughter (Oline Hansen) are easily searchable on this blog.
