Nils Petter Hanson

   Other names for Nils were Nils Petter Andersson and Nils Petter Hannsson.

  Research Notes:

Note: I have not found Nils Petter Hanson and his family after the 1885 MN State Census - I have used various names, including sons and daughters. Son Johan Konrad / Conrad Hanson is recorded with his grandparents in the 1895 MN State Census at Stockholm Twp, but not any of the other family members. I do not know what happened to them. None of the FamilyTrees on Ancestry or FamilySearch record any details about him other than his birth.

I have tried the indexes for Canada on FamilySearch, but nothing. Nothing in the 1900 US Census in the US. Did the family return to Sweden ???????????????????? [13 Aug 2021]
[ 21 Aug 2021: Axel Hanson or Axel Andersson, born 19 Oct 1875: not indexed in Sweden of Arkivdigital, 1895-1925]
so, Canada ?? - maybe, but really not sure ???????

Axel Anderson, age 41 b in Sweden; Widow; em 1911; land sec 23 twp 15 range 3

NOTE: without any collaborating evidence it is almost impossible to know what happened to this family. They may have moved to Canada, since there are a few hits. The main problem is the surname: either Anderson or Hanson are very common.

See notes on each event.

In Sweden, Nils Petter Hansson his patronmyic name of Andersson. However, in the US he used Hanson as his surname, as did his children. He left Östmark parish for Sandarne parish in Gälveborg county in Feb/Mar 1875 and was married in April of the same year. It is not clear why he went to Sandarne parish in 1875 [his parents had moved there in 1879]. It is assumed that he and his family continued to live at Sandarne although I haven't found the family in the Husförhör book for the years 1876-1880. The family is however recorded in the 1880-1885 book, where the family is noted as leaving for America on 19 Oct 1881.

Note: that in after 1917, Sandarne parish was a separate chapel (broke out) of Söderhamn parish, but had a special reporting recorded with Söderhamn. For example, many records (just as birth, marriage, moving in-out) are found in the Söderham parish books.

- I had searched ancestry with Signe Hanson b abt 1882 in MN
- this FT came up: with the middle name of "Fredrika" and this is bit unusal name and then family name of Hanson
- Unfortunately this FT and a couple of others, give no infornation on Sena's family.
- using links, there is some information but again nothing on her family
- there are a bit of obit for him, but tells very little
- apparently married 28 Apr 1900 - but nothing on newspapers.com
