My great grandfather had 3 maybe 4 cousins, who emmigrated from Denmark to the US. One of
them was Thyge Nielsen Hansen. He was born 5 March 1847 in Østerby, Daler Parish, Højer-Lø
District, Tønder Count
In the 1900 Fed. Census I found a Thyge N Hansen living in Genoa, also born in Denmark
March 1847. Occupation: Saloon keeper.
I also found a reference to his grave on Genoa Cemetery on this site:

All seems to fit, however in the cemetery there is a Hans N Hansen (1850-1903). From his
birth date he could be a brother of Thyge N Hansen.
If this is the case he is not the Thyge I'm looking for, allthough he had a brother
called Hans Nielsen Hansen born 1851 but he died 1862.
I hope there is someone, who knows how Thyge N and Hans N were related, and can help
determine if I have found the right person or not.
