If he had a brother named Hans or Christian then you are part of our family. I'm researching my great grandfather as well. His father was Hans Christian Anderson. He seems to have gone by the nickname Christ for some reason. His father was Anders Christofson. My great grandfather only had one brother (Calvin) who drowned in 1908, but your family could have been Hans sibling.
