Hi -- sorry for the long break between messages; got awful busy with work and didn't have time to play around on the internet.
I haven't posted my new-found family members anywhere yet -- not quite sure where you do that?Can you give me a tip on that?
My grandmother actually bore my mother out of wedlock --she got pregnant by a soldier (named Fritjof Hansen) had my mother and named her Babette, after Fritjof's beloved sister who passed away from leukemia, and then Fritjof was killed in a train bombing in 1928 right after my mother was born and before he could marry my grandmother.She raised my mother alone for several years, and then married a man with a daughter, so that is my "aunt," but no blood relation.She lives in Germany and must be in her late 80s by now and I haven't been back to Germany in 25+ years. I once wrote her a letter but never heard back.
Then, when my mother grew up, she ended up marrying a man named Hansen too!Quite a coincidence!It is his branch of the Hansen family that I have found.I would love to know more about Fritjof Hansen but haven't yet joined any paid sites that give you information about Germany/Denmark.I may join Ancestry.com for just a month to do some searching, but with such a common name, I'm thinking it might be easier to pay a German genealogist to look into it for me.I found a great website where you post who you're looking for and what documentation you want, and then genealogists (some pros, some amateurs) from around the world send you bids to do your work and you choose which one you want.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Birgit
