Biography

Since Marie married Andreas in 1890 makes the immigration year of 1888 a safe bet. I found a Maren Hansen age 19 in 1888 coming to America. See her profile for a photo.

Born to the Hansen family in Denmark, is all we know at this time. Find A Grave: Memorial #54428104 This may be her sister?

Marriage

The marriage was performed in Denver, Colorado on Sept 7, 1890 and the "name of Official who performed the ceremony: H.P. Hansen... Title: MIN. Spelled the same way as Mary's. HOWEVER, there is a passport for a Marie Hansen born in Denmark, married to H.P. Hansen in Colorado, wrong DOB...

NEW info to research is from: Peter Christensen Peter Hoejvang Christensen, Aalboirg, Denmark Hi Carole, My name is Peter Hoejvang Christensen and I am part of the FHC in Aalborg Denmark. We are at the time helping a patron from Saeby who is trying to find

information about Marie Hansens (married to Andrew Christensen) sister Maren.

The patron is not 100% sure but believe that the two sisters emigrated together to the US. She has found letters from Marie to her family in Denmark (dated 9. April 1899) where she writes about Marens two daughters. In another letter (dated 10. March 1910) she writes that Maren has died and her husbond has taken the daughters and moved somewhere else. The patron would like to know about Maren; the marriage, the husbond and the children and what happend to them.

Maybe this is all new to you. But if you know anything about Maren or maybe could find some information about her I am sure that the patron would be very happy.

Maren was born 1.December 1869 in Hellevad, Dronninglund, Hjorring, Denmark. Her parents (and Maries as well I guess) was Johan Peter Hansen and Johanne Mikkelsen. Please send me a reply and I will help you get in touch with this patron with connection to these people.

Best regards, Peter Hoejvang Christensen, Aalboirg, Denmark
