Message Board Post:
Hello. Can anyone tell me anything about a Nels Jensen and his wife, Hannah? Nels was born
around 1870 in Denmark and likely emigrated around 1890. Hannah was from
Schleswig-Holstein, born there around 1859. She likely emigrated sometime in the 1880s.
Nels and Hannah were married around 1896, and while I suspect the location was Lovelock
(or nearby), I am uncertain. They had a daughter, Ada K. Jensen, in 1898, and I believe a
second child who was born and died sometime in the first decade of the 1900s, based on
census information.
In the 1900 census, Nels and family are listed in Lovelock in their own home, and again in
the home of Nels' employer, a Jacob N. Morkonburg, a man in his 60s. In 1910, they
have living with them a lodger in his 20s, Andrew Hanson.
Ada showed up in Reno (under her married name, Ada Bain) in 1933 to deal with the issue of
Nels' (then recently deceased) estate, for which she was the administrator. I believe
Hannah to have also died by this time, but again, not certain. She was a bit older than he
was to begin with.
So, anything about where Nels and Hannah married or died or were born or where they
arrived at / departed from... basically anything about these two would be MUCH
appreciated!
