I am a descendant of Christopher Iver Hansen and Mary Duda Hansen. They were my Grandparents.

Mary Duda Hansen was born June 22, 1897 in Hungry and her parents are Alexander Duda and Mary Rebar Duda.

How are you related to them?

If you are still interested in this family let me know.

Thank you so much for responding to my post.

My husband's grandmother, Dorthea "Dora" HANSEN Petersen, was Chris Iverson HANSEN's sister.

I believe Dora and Chris were the only children of Hans C. HANSEN (1863 DEN-1892 IA) and Kristina JORGENSEN (1858 DEN-1935 IA). (I have attached a portrait of Hans and Kristina.)

According to my notes:

1. Hans C. HANSEN's parents were Christian HANSEN and Dorthea JUHL.

and

2. Kristina JORGENSEN Hansen's parents were Iver JORGENSEN and Else BALTZEN.

Does this match with what you know of your grandfather's background? I have additional portraits and some news items from both Iowa and Lethbridge newspapers, if you are interested in having them.

I have a few things also. But I am not a member of Ancestry so it is hard for me to scan them to you. Could I have your email address and I can send them to you that way?
