Looking for information or connection to Holger Christian Edmund Hansen

Question

I am looking for information and better still some connection to Holger Christian Edmund Hansen (Hansen-3297) who was born in Denmark on June 10 1902. He married Mary Francis Brander in San Francisco where they lived and raised a family. He died 17 January 1961.

I do not know if Holger was the only member of his family to go to the States from Denmark but would be pleased to get any information about his Danish family.

Hi Paul

Thanks for replying.

None of the documentation I have  mentions place of birth or parentage. He arrived inthe USA 14 August 1923 on Oskar II from Copenhagen as part of the crew working on board as a waiter. His age is given as 21.

I got the exact date of birth from the undertaker's record of his burial. The information was provided by his son George but no record of the father or mother's name and birthplace is noted as Denmark. He is buried in Olivet Memorial Park San Francisco. He does not appear to have taken his naturalization papers until 1940. The Hansen family appear in the 1930 and 1940 census records in San Francisco. The death notice for his wife in 1967 mentioned that she was survived by 5 children, 11 grandchildren and one grandchild. Not only would I like to find out about  his ancestors but I was hopeful that some of his grandchildren might have had an interest in family history
