Anna Hellen Hanson is the daughter of my GGG-Grandparents Hans and Antonette Hanson who lived in Five Points, Akan, Richland, Wisconsin. The only documents I have on Anna are a series of US Census records that list the family. This post will focus on the details of Anna's birth.
I have transcribed the details of this record below:
- Full name of child: Anna Hellen Hanson
- Color: White
- Sex: Female
- Name of other issue living: -
- Full name of father: Hans J. Hanson
- Occupation of father: Farmer
- Full name of mother previous to marriage: Antonette Hanson
- Hour, day of week, of month, and year, of birth: Mon. Aug 16. 4 AM 1880
- Place, town or township, and county in which born: Akan Richland Co
- Birthplace of father: Norway

- Residence of person last named: Five Points
- Date of certificate or affidavit: 7 Nov 1893
- Date of registration: 10 Nov 1893
- Any additional circumstances: (none listed)
What we can learn from this record:
- I never new Anna's full middle name and now we know it is Hellen.
- She was a white female.
- At the time of her birth she was the only child of Hans and Antonette Hanson.
- Her birth location is supported by the census records of the family during this time.
- The birthplace of Anna's parents is listed as Norway. Still no village name.
- The certificate was created on 7 Nov 1893 and filed on 10 Nov 1893. These are the same dates as other vital records for the family.
