What’s the first names of your Hansons in Illinois (out of curiosity since I have Hansons in Illinois).
Her first name was Esther and she married Morris Citron. She was born in Russia. Her father was J. Hanson and Mother was Sarah Axelrod.
I don’t think there is a connection, but how interesting. Was the name changed from something else, do you think?
I don’t know yet. That is a part of the tree I haven’t been able to find much about.
