| A pity my ancestor wasn’t the first. He wasn’t the second, either, but he could be the third if it wasn’t for Knute. My Marie and Jens had a daughter born in 1856, called Kjerstine at the Christening and Kirstine at the emigration entry in the Ringsaker ministerial book. Where did you find these data from the civil war? |

The info is taken from soldier profiles @ Vesterheim and NAGCNL.
Census-1900 shows that the Mary Hanson in question immigrated about 1850.
So likely not a good kandidate. Question is; is this really the wife of Jens Hanson of Onalaska, Wis. |

Here is the original handwritten census
1860 in Neshonoc, LaCrosse, Wisconsin:
1860 Neshonoc
I read every page - no family similar to Jens Hansen. I'm uncertain if this is the only census report for Neshonoc. Other census reports exist for nearby areas.
Here's a map of LaCrosse county from the 1870s, showing the townships. A township is a rural area that may include several villages and towns.

Also just checked every page of Onalaska Township, La Crosse County. No good candidates for Jens Hansen or his family.
And Barre as well.
And Farmington

Going through the 1860 Census by Township did not turn up any family that resembled Jens Hansen, wife and children. I felt that I should surely be able to find the Jens Hansen and family discussed by Jan Peter on page one.
3) Jens Hanson, born about 1816 in Norway.
Married and resided in Onalaska, LaCrosse County, Wisconsin.
Discharged from the service at Jacinto, Mississippi, on account of disability, 6 Aug 1862.
After the war, he moved back to La Crosse County. He and his wife, Mary, had 4 children.
By 1900, only 2 were still living, including Knute (1856). Mary was living with Knute at the time of the 1900 Census, as Jens died before 1890.
The closest I came to this family is this one.
Brown Hanson
in the 1860 United States Federal Census
Name: Brown Hanson
Age: 36
Birth Year: abt 1824
Gender: Male
Birth Place: Norway
Home in 1860: Jackson, La Crosse, Wisconsin
Post Office: La Crosse
Dwelling Number: 2246
Family Number: 1915
Occupation: Farmer
Real Estate Value: 1200
Personal Estate Value: 350
Household Members:
Name Age
Brown Hanson 36
Mary Hanson 30
Hans Hanson 10
Helen Hanson 6
Kund Hanson 4
Sike Hanson 24
Birth date of husband is about right, wife is named Mary and one child is named Knute. But names are not very close, only three children not four and I have no idea why the name Brown and who Sika is.

| The table I linked to from my original post contained the farm names of the emigrants. I think I have seen the first of them, Sørum, in the 1880 census, used by the same people now living in anorher state. I hope to get the time to set up an expanded table with matches in other censuses than the 1870 one, and containing more Ringsaker people. |

Here are the first Jens Hansen proved up homesteads at the Bureau of Land Management sites. One of these might be target Jens or none of them might be target Jens:

Yes, obviously Tore - I had already seen that. Thanks.
To clarify, my question was: Are there any other farm names the Jens Hansen family might use -
possibilities that are NOT on the table.
As we all know, Norwegian immigrants adopted a permanent surname in the USA, either a patronym or a version of the farm name (usually the farm name used in the emigration record). But as a long shot, less commonly, the family used another, different farm name.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. (And grateful for your efforts.) Most of these people, including Jens and Marie, were "husmannsfolk", i.e., they didn't own any land themselves, just rented some small, dependent farm (plass) and often moved several times during a lifetime. Jens came from the "plass" Lillebratten under the farm Jemtland. The places of residence for the couple when the three younger children were baptized in 1844, 1848 and 1856, were given as Dahlbye, Langkloppen and Blaaserbrænden, respectively. I am not sure if these are different names for the same "plass". |

I am assuming that you are building up a data base and are also hopeful that the data base will lead to Jens Hansen and family. Here is another family to add to the list of 1870 families.
This is likely the family of Ole Thomessen Økildsrudeie

After finding the ELCA record on Anna Thompson in Holmen Wisconsin, I followed up with a search for Hansen in that same church.
Klara Julie Hansen
in the U.S., Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Church Records, 1826-1969
Name: Klara Julie Hansen
Record Type: Confirmation
Birth Date: 13 Jan 1878
Confirmation Date: 8 Mar 1878
Father: Matthias Hansen
Mother: Karoline Kristoffersdtr
Church Name: Halfway Creek Congregation
Church Location: Holmen, Wisconsin
Died in 1891, above record looks more like a baptism not a confirmation. Witnesses are Andreas Hansen Ekerdal, or K Lars Hansen og Eline Hansdatter.
Clara Julie Hansen
in the U.S., Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Church Records, 1826-1969
Name: Clara Julie Hansen
Death Age: 13
Record Type: Burial
Birth Date: 13 Jan 1878
Birth Place: Lu and Co Wisconsin, USA
Death Date: 27 Mar 1891
Burial Date: 30 Mar 1891
Father: Matthew Hansen
Mother: Karoline Christopusdr
Church Name: Halfway Creek Congregation
Church Location: Holmen, Wisconsin
So if the child was born in 1878 and died in 1891, why are they so hard to find in the 1880 Censu.
