Details:
Henrich Hanson is one where the names start to get blurred in my family tree. Given his daughter's name, I assume the Roness was a location appellation, and that he likely had it too at one point, just not on the records I have found. But because I have not found it in the records I have that show him, I am still a bit unsure if he is the father I am trying to find in this instance, as he is not listed in the family record that was compiled by one of the Bordewich family in Minnesota. He is listed on his daughter's marriage record, but the name is such a common name, it's hard to be certain I have the correct one.

I know nothing of his life, though I assume he was born in Norway, and will until I am proven otherwise wrong. Beyond that, I have almost nothing. I don't know what he did for a living, or where he lived, though it is likely he was located in Trodheim for a time, as that is where his daughter was born. I'd love to know more about him and his family, both with his wife, and what siblings he may have had.

Proof:
1) My first proof for Henrick is his daughter's marriage record. Without that, I would have had no clue even who to start looking for. It gives only his name, however, which got me little further.
2) The second proof I have for him was Pauline's birth record. This gives only a bit more information, but it also lists his wife, which made it possible to find the third bit of proof.
3) With his wife's name, I was also able to find a marriage record for the couple, though that gave me only a little more information, and got me no further back in Henrich's line.

New Proof of Henrich Hansen:
4) I have birth records for his daughters Henrikke, Gunnild, and Karen.
5) I also have baptism records for all three as well.
6) His current death date from a record which I believe is his, though I am not entirely certain of, as it does not list his wife or children.

Needed:
As with most of my other brick walls, I have little BMD info, and one of the dates I do have is uncertain at this time. I would love to find more proof of his death date, preferably something that connects him to his children or wife. As I said above, I'd also love to know more about his life with his wife, and if they only had three children or if there were more. I would also still love who his parents were, and if he had any siblings. I'd also like to understand the Roness name better, as I'm sure there's something there that I am missing.


As always, if my family or anyone out there has any more information on this family, I'd love to talk to you about them. I'd love to learn more on any of them, if at all possible.

And I have no other posts about Henrick, as he's so far back in my family tree.
