Knut Hansen (approximate age 65-75) married Susan Eva Kirkpatrick in King Co. Washington (Seattle) December 1957. Moved to Alaska where a daughter, Susan, was born 12/28/58 and myself, Teresa, was born 02/20/61.

I have been told that Knut and his cousin? Erling Petserson came to Seattle from Borgen? Norway and that he sailed on the "Explorer" (Merchant Marine?) out of Seward, Alaska.

I have not seen Knut since around 1974 and would very much like to find him and/or any others who may know about my family medical history.

I seriously need medical history from this segment of my separated family. I am hoping, as well, to close the gap with this gentleman who was/is my birth father.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you may offer.

Teresa Elisabeth (Hansen) Hill Koop

Hi In the Social Security Death Index there is a Knut Hansen, born 20 May 1931, died 26 Jun 1984. You can order a copy of his social security application which might give you some more information which could confirm if he is the correct person. Click Here
If he is the correct person, a copy of his death certificate could give you more information. You can order a copy of it Click Here

If this is your father, my condolences.
