Maria Andersdotter Hanson

  Research Notes:

NOTE: the information about Maria Andersdotter Hanson is mostly from Ancestry Family Trees. However, there is very little evidence that 'our' Maria Andersdotter Hanson (b 1860) in Sweden was in fact married to Gust Anderson b in 1861 in Sweden and lived in Superior, Douglas Co, WI

We can find some census records that record Gust Anderson b 1861, married to Mary b Nov 1961 in Sweden with 3 children as indicated on the Ancestry FTs [see below]. But this does not provide any proof of family relationships. The FTs are likely mostly correct, but there is no proof.
