Chris Larsen

[Ruth Becker Morenz]

I am looking for any information on Chris Larsen.  What I know is that he was born in Denmark on January 17, 1887.  His death certificate from Illinois, USA states that his birthplace was Solland?
Also on his death certificate are his parents as Lars Nulsen and Nettea Mulsen.  There are conflicting dates as to when he emmigrated to the US.  On the 1910 US census it says his immigration year was 1892.  Another census, however, says 1907.

I would deeply appreciate any help in finding any info on him.

Respectfully,
Ruth Becker Morenz

Hi Ruth,

He is Hans Christian Larsen on his 1917 draft card, and listed birthplace as Blande or Blaude, Denmark but I can't identify such a place.  Maybe our Danish readers will have an idea what it should be.  Solland could be a misreading of Lolland, as the old form of written L looked much like an S.

On the 1920 census he listed immigration year as 1904, in 1930 as 1903.

Homer and Jesper,

THANK YOU SO MUCH.  I don't know how you do it but both of you have helped me in the past and I am so very grateful.
I was not able to find his draft card.  Thank you so much for that.  Also, I am so excited to know where he was born and the parish he was baptized at.

You both are wonderful.

Respectfully,

Jesper,

i just went on the church record.  Would you be able to read his parents names?  I was not able to.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Here is his registration for emigration, but using the surname Steen:

Name:  Steen, Hans Chr. Larsen Occupation:  Landarbejder
Age:  17 Destination:  Lake Forest
Contract no.:  442600 Registration date:  11/18/1903
Birth place:  Blands Birth place:  Ullerup

Last residence:  Blands Destination country:  USA

He arrived New York 1 Dec 1903, listed as Hans C. L. Steen, his destination brother "Chas Larsson" in Lake Forest.

Perhaps the family had adopted Steen as their surname before he left.

Jane,

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would receive so much info today from so many wonderful people on this site.  It is taking me a while to piece all these people together.  It is so exciting.

THANK YOU AS WELL FOR YOUR HELP!  This Danish site has changed my life and made me grateful that I am part Danish.  The Danes are truly wonderful people.  I am hooked on genealogy because of all of you.

Sincerely,
Ruth Becker Morenz

Homer,
Did you find this on Ancestry? Sincerely,

Yes, but always use wild cards, to allow for spelling and transcription errors.

[Ruth Becker Morenz]

Homer,

I am not sure I know what you mean by "use wild cards".  I do know that names are frequently mispelled, etc.  I have come across that a lot.

If you are using Ancestry, read the fine print about searches:  You can use an asterisk (*) for any number of letters, or a question mark(?) for a single letter.  For example, you can use lars?n to get both spellings Larsen and Larson.  And Chr* will get you Christian, Christen, etc.  But you must use a minimum of three letters.

I never knew that about that trick when using Ancestry.  That's brilliant.  I will have to use that from now on.
Also, thanks for the info on Charles.  I always appreciate all info.  You never know what new road it will take you on.

Grateful,
