Christen Hermansen's son: Hans Christian


Birth, Gullev parish register, page 8. Kirstine Hansdatter is born to Hans Kristian Kristensen on March 24, 1818. His mother is listed as Erinn Johansdatter (?). I'm not sure of the last name and in new family search the name is listed as Erinn Katrine Sorensdatter. I have an email out to the person who submitted this name so we'll see where they get their information. On the same line in the witness section is a Jorgens and the "J" in Jorgens is the same shape as the letter that begins Erinn's last name. The next time I find Hans is in the 1834 census in Gullev. He is listed as a farmhand and married but he is living with another family and his wife and child are not listed. Perhaps he did not have enough to care for them and they had returned to her home?
Death, Gullev parish register, page 181. Hans Kristian Kristensen passes away on July 28, 1836 at the age of 56. He is buried August 3. There is writing in the "comments" section at the end of his entry but I cannot decipher it. I have not been able to find his wife or child in the census.
