Surnames: HANSON Classification: Census Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4EC.2ACE/743 Message Board Post: Reply to: Jeff Jeppson <Jeppsonjeffery@aol.com> Keep in mind there is a Jefferson Township, GreenCoWI; Jefferson, Jefferson Township, Jefferson County; a Jefferson Township, MonroeCoWI; and a Jefferson Township, VernonCoWI - Vernon county was named Bad Axe until 1862 - so it is quite possible you are searching the wrong county... Coon Valley is currently in Coon Township, VernonCoWI, directly north of Jefferson Township, VernonCoWI. There are some FREE lookup resources available, but they are specific to a database or book- with what you are asking, it sounds as if you need a professional researcher - check: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwood/resource/ Otherwise you could contact the local county courthouse, information on that is at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimonroe/court/court.html Free lookup pages: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimonroe/look.html or check with http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimonroe/MCLHMaRR/ You didn't give any of the other family members given names, that would have been helpful - However, I have limited access to some information available: HANSON, ELLEF State: WI Year: 1860 County: Bad Ax County Township: Christiana Page: 194 WI 1860 Federal Census Index HANSON, AMUND State: WI Year: 1890 County: Monroe County Township: E.D. 193 Portland Page: 001 : WI 1890 Veterans Schedule HANSON, EMAN State: WI Year: 1860 County: Monroe County Township: Jefferson Page: 061 WI 1860 Federal Census Index HANSON, NELSON State: WI Year: 1860 County: Monroe County Township: Leon Page: 083 WI 1860 Federal Census Index HANSON, OLE State: WI Year: 1860 County: Monroe County Township: Leon Page: 083 : WI 1860 Federal Census Index HANSON, NELS C.

I am not related to nor have any additional information on these surnames. R/S MAK http://www.rootsweb.com/~wimonroe +++++++++++++ I am interested in any Information on a Ellef Hanson family. He came from Norway in 1856 and was in Coon Valley, Bad Ax, Wisconsin. IN 1880 census, he is in Jefferson, WIsconsin. I would like to know some specifics about probate, land transactions and any vital information that can be acheived. Jeff Jeppson <Jeppsonjeffery@aol.com>
