Metha and Hans Hansen's Grave Marker


This is a picture of the grave marker for Grandpa Jensen's sister Metha (early records spell her name "Meta" but she is "Metha" in the 1916 census). Note that Hans is a "hotelejer" which means a hotel owner or proprietor.
I do not know who Harry and Knut are... yet! I'm on the trail, though. :)

Yet one more sister

Rasmine had a baby girl on 29 Jan 1890. The baby died on the 30th and then Rasmine died on the 31st. They were buried together on 7 Feb 1890.

Rasmine's Ancestors

Here are Rasmine's ancestors. Any fact with a location has been verified (I've seen an image of the original record in the parish book).
[Rasmine was Grandpa Jensen's mother. She died when he was very young.]

Another Sister!!

This photo taken in Nakskov Denmark about 1913/1914 is Grandpa Jensen's sister Meta Margrethe and her husband Hans Hansen. They were married 28 Apr 1905 in Ryde, Denmark.
The children are:
Inger Rasmine b 17 Jun 1906 in Kappel
Ellen Margrete b 5 Sep 1907 in Kappel
Niels Peder b 19 Mar 1909 in Sandby
Edith Dorthea Malvina b 9 Nov 1910 in Sandby
Svend Aage b 8 Mar 1912 in Sandby

A sixth child, Else Margot was born 16 Jan 1915 in Sandby.

I had not known that Meta existed until I saw her name in a census and then looked back in the birth records for Ryde parish. She was born 15 Jan 1883 (between the two Hans Peders).
