Hans Hansson and his wife Ida Josephine Lind Hansson

[Hannah Hanson]

Hi,
 
I am looking for information (dates, loction) for my great-great grandfather Hans Hansson and his wife Ida Josephine Lind Hansson. I found their names on the back of an old Photo. My Great Grandfather was Oscar, their son, and I think he had a brother Edwin and a sister Edith. He might have had a brother Bernard. My father's name is Bernard and he was named after Oskar's brother or uncle (I am trying to confirm). Oskar emmigated to the U.S. sometime in the early 1900's. I am not sure when. Oscar married a Johanna Dahlström, I believe they married in the U.S., but again, not totally sure. Any information would be helpful. I have tracked down some of Johanna's information, but the Hansson side is a bit of a mystery. Thanks!

Hannah,
Hans Hansson was born Jan 10, 1868 in Järvsö, Gävleborgs län (Enviken AI:5 (1888-99) sid 207). He was married to Ida Josefina Lind, born Dec 11, 1863 in Ramkvilla, Jönköpings län. They had the children, Oskar Wilhelm, born 1893, Klas Edvin, born 1897, the twins Hans Bernhard and Edit Viktoria, born 1899. Both twins died the same year.
Hans Hansson died July 21, 1900 by tuberculosis.

Hans Hansson was the son of Hans Hansson and Anna Andersdotter in Kalv, Järvsö. Hans Hansson (the father) was born April 16, 1846 in Kalv, Järvsö. His parents were Hans Ersson, born July 3, 1808 and Anna Knutsdotter, born Dec 11, 1808.
According to EMIBAS:
Oskar Wilhelm emigrated Aug 11, 1923 from Nor, Järvsö to Boston.

According to EMIBAS a Johanna Ingeborg Dahlström, born May 1, 1895 in Järvsö, emigrated Febr 26, 1914 from Nor, Järvsö to Boston. Could it be her?

Wow!  thank you so much Ivar!  Very interesting information.  Yes, that is the correct Johanna.  I was wondering if you can see if there are any other Bernard Hannsons.  Maybe a child of Hans Hannson and Anna Andersdottor or Hans and Anna Knutsdotter?  There is this story that the Bernard my father was named after lived to an adult age and had to leave Sweden because he either witnessed or was part of a crime- possibly a murder.  I am trying to find out if this older Bernard really existed and what happened to him.

Hannah,
Yes, there is another Bernhard. The son Hans Bernhard (the same name as the twin boy who died 1899) was born Aug 10, 1900 in Enviken (Kopparbergs län) a couple of weeks after his father Hans Hansson died.
Hans Bernhard Hansson-Lundin died July 27, 1963 in Vemdalen, Jämtlands län. He married Anna Kristina Hansson (born April 26, 1900 in Sveg, Jämtlands län) Nov 29, 1930.
I have found no information about the story about Bernhard, nor that Hans Hansson and Anna Andersdotter or Hans Ersson and Anna Knutsdotter had any son called Bernhard.

Hans Bernhard and Anna Kristina (born Vestlund) married in Vemdalen. At the time Hans Bernhard was a shoemaker.

Very interesting! That Must Be The Bernard My Dad is named after-thank you! So if I am following this correctly, Oskar did have a younger brother Hans Bernard (born after the twins died and after his dad died) - and they shared the same father, correct? You wrote his name is Hans-Bernhard Hansson Lundin, Lundin what is that name? I have never heard that surname before. Is Oskar & the father Hans Hansson who died in 1900 also a Lundin?

[Ivar Gustavsson]

Yes, that is correct. A pure speculation is that Hans Bernhard was raised in another family, Lundin. Ida Josefina Lind had three very small children when her husband died 1900. She may even have died before Hans Bernhard had grown up.

[Hannah Hanson]

Thank you Ivar! My family has really enjoyed learning this informtion.

There was also this other brother, Klas Edvin, born July 7, 1897 in Järvsö. He married May 26, 1928 and died July 27, 1977 in Kalmar. His wife, Karin Julia Rebecka, born Jan 9, 1905 in Förlösa, Kalmar län, died Oct 24, 1984 in Kalmar.
