These are the siblings I have for my great grandpa Louie:<br /><br />* Hans Therkelsen Madsen 1870 – 1956 (married Maren Christensen)<br />* Kirsten Madsen 1872 – <br />* Peder Madsen 1875 – <br />* Sidsel Marie Madsen 1877 – <br />* Anna Madsen 1879 – <br />* Margrethe Madsen 1881 – 1954<br />* Hansine Christine Madsen 1884 – 1951 (she married John Jensen, and they brought great grandpa Louie to Livermore in 1908)<br />* Laurine Madsen 1886 – <br />* Ellen Marie Madsen 1888 – 1941 (she married Frank Krejci)<br />* Lars Hansen Madsen (great grandpa Louie) 1893 – 1971 (yes, he came here when he was 14, but not naturalized until he was 23)<br /><br />So, am I missing Hans C. here? I'm still not sure where he fits in. <br /><br />I've seen photos of the farm from another distant Madsen relative who is still in Denmark. I'm dying to go to Aero someday soon! <br /><br />Also, did you see the post I wrote a few months ago on here about Dania Hall?<br /><br />We should get together and talk sometime. I live in SF but go to Livermore often enough still. You can email me at wendy.brittain@gmail.com if you like.<br /><br />Hope all is well!<br />Cousin WendyWendy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13672025937069753108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072746418854500230.post-86514880784697487252011-08-11T12:34:07.355-07:002011-08-11T12:34:07.355-07:00Hans C and Hans T were instrumental in forming the...Hans C and Hans T were instrumental in forming the Danish lodge here in Livermore. Grandpa did not meet Uncle Louis until he came here. I thought he was 14 when he came. Uncle Louis was born after Grandpa and Grandma left in 1891.Don't get me started!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072746418854500230.post-25893981420837464602011-08-11T12:30:25.368-07:002011-08-11T12:30:25.368-07:00My name in Danish is Karen Maren Masen.My name in Danish is Karen Maren Masen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072746418854500230.post-35373486331493064492011-08-11T12:28:28.992-07:002011-08-11T12:28:28.992-07:00Uncle Louis was Grandpa Hans T.'s youngest bro...Uncle Louis was Grandpa Hans T.'s youngest brother. Grandpa is the oldest. Uncle Masen is also Hans but middle initial C. He is Grandpa and Uncle Louis brother and lived in Galt. There are also the krejci's in Merced their mother was a sister to the boys. Also John Jensen was married to a sister and had Leo and Rasmus who had Shirley, Carol, Alan and George. What do you want to know? I went to their house on Aero when I went to Denmark and Grandpa's nephew has the farm now. He got $400,000 crone for the land the windmill is on and had on a lavender long sleeved shirt with overalls. I thought that was cute.

I don't remember the relationship. Maybe Stanley would. I vaguely remember being there. Too many years ago. I'll try to figure out where Uncle Masen fits in our family.Rebecca Santosnoreply@blogger.com
