At least two of his sons moved to the Lake Benton area in Lincoln county, MN in 1900. I think they lived in Lake Benton township. Their names were: Jacob C. HANSEN and John C. HANSEN (my grandfather). Jacob lived there untill 1917, when he moved to Ryder, ND. I wonder if Christian had a brother named Anton HANSEN who supposedly still has family in the Lake Benton area.
