She finally found Hans on the Underhill Cemetery transcription pages, matching his birth year and using the US Census to verify dates and immigration. Buried with Hans P. Hansen are his wife Laura and their daughter Nellie along with nephew Paul Hansen. Paul is not buried with a spouse.

Cemetery documents also have the entire family plot purchased by Herbert Hansen asa Christ (husband of Nellie Hansen). He is also buried there. Herbert Hansen  asa Christ (husband of Nellie Hansen) is related to the family by marriage to only daughter Nellie Hansen. Herbert originally had the surname of Christ. He lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a child and later while married to Nellie. Herbert used the name "Christ" in Milwaukee and "Hansen" in Oconto County. The 1930 Census for Milwaukee shows Herbert and Nellie residing there. It is not known if they had children.

Parents to Herbert Walter Christ were:

Father: Emil Christ, born in Brandenburg in Germany, January 1859
Mother: Augusta Rieckhoff, born in Brandenburg in Germany, July 1862. In October 1883, at  21 years of age, she immigrated to Iowa together with her parents, John and Anna Rieckhoff and her sister Elsa.

Beside Herbert Walther Christ there was one more child:

In Denmark, records provide that Hans P. Hansen was age 20 years when he immigrated to North America on 4 October 1872, as confirmed by his travel contact number. While living in Denmark, he had also used the old family name of "Tage".  His last residence in Europe was in Nakskov, Denmark. Hans was born in Denmark 3, August, 1851. His brother was Jeppe Hansen, whose family remained there. Hans first immigrated to Marquette, Michigan upon arrival in 1872.

Hans was found on the 1900 US Census for Underhill, Oconto County, Wisconsin. He owned a farm and was married to Laura ? for 17 years (about 1883). Laura had given birth to one child, Nellie age 9, living with them. She was born July 1890 in Wisconsin. Immigration for Hans confirmed the 1872 year, as well as the month and year of birth in Denmark. Laura had also been born in Denmark Sept. 1860 and had immigrated to North America in 1873 at age 13.

In 1907 Hans nephew, Paul Hansen, immigrated to America, destination was Hans P. Hansen in Underhill, Wisconsin. Paul had been born to Jeppe Hansen in Denmark 13 May 1891. Family oral history in Denmark said that Paul had died of Tuberculosis in America at a young age. The gravestone in Underhill Cemetery has his death in 1912 at age 21 years.

In the near future research on the obituaries or death notices, death certificates of all members and birth certificate of Nellie Hansen offers the hope of finding out more information for the family still in Denmark today.  Many questions remain to be answered. If you can help, please consider doing it. Questions include the maiden name and family of Laura Hansen; how does Herbert Hansen fit into the grouping; was Hans P. Hansen married/widowed with children before his marriage to Laura at age 31; were there other descendants of this Hansen family branch in America?

The house belonged to Jeppe Hansen and his son my grandfather bought it in 1930 when Jeppe died. My great-grandfather lived with them until 1945, where she moved to a residential house for elderly persons. Many childern are born in that house. I was born there in 1954, my mother was born there in 1936 and all my grandfathers brother and sisters are born there too.
