Elizabeth
Marie Hansen (GGGGM, 1827 - 1895, as recorded by Paulene
Anderson, 1996) -
In 1814, Denmark was separated from Norway. Denmark, much like Norway is a country
dominated by water travel due to their many islands. Much of Denmark’s trades and industry related
to sailing and shipping. The Danes had
sufferd much during the war with England.
Lisa Marie Hanson was born into a time of new felt progress and recovery
from that war. The peasants were making
agricultiural progress and their intellectual movement was just dawning. War time shipping was being replaced with
commerce and industrial shipping.
Lisa was born on October 13, 1827 the only child of Hans Jensen and Anna
Jacobson in Ostbirk, Skanerborg, Denmark.
She was born the child of her mother’s first husband, and it is thought
that she may have been born out of wedlock.
Danish people are known as having a great sense of humor and being quite
affable. They have always been
preoccupied with the here and now of everyday life and with little concern for
preparation for the future. She was 25
years of age when she married Anders Christensen on December 3, 1852.
