Thank you all so much for all the information.  I am now going to have to investigate.  Let me know if you do find anything else out.

Hi All,
Back from vacation and working on my search once again.  The family was amazed at how many other children that Johanna had that we did not know about.  It is definitely the family.  I know it was mentioned that Emily married HHW Hansen in 1929.  That was my Grandmother who married Valdemar Henry Hansen.  I am not sure why he is listed as HHW Hansen unless he actually used another name.  I cannot find immigration information on him since he jumped a boat coming over from Denmark.  We believe he was born in Korsor 1900?.  I can't find immigration on Valdemar Hansen or Johanna Vatkimen.  I have searched but am afraid I will never find more information on my Grandfather.  I know he came from a family of about 11 children but as far as we know, he was the only one that came over when he was about 16.  Anyone know where I can look next?
