1. | Andrew Hansen Lund was born on 28 Sep 1848 in Jels, Haderslev, Denmark (son of Iver Hansen Lund and Anna Catherina Fredericksen); died on 3 Mar 1930 in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada; was buried on 7 Mar 1930 in Red Deer Cemetery, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. Other Events and Attributes:
- Occupation: Carpenter and carriage maker
- Occupation: Farmer
- Research Notes: 1900 Census indicates that Andrew was born in Germany of a Danish father and German mother, this is contradicted by other information, including the 1880 census, which indicates that he was born in Denmark. On the other hand, the record of his marriage to Lizzie Oestmann, gives his birthplace as Schleswig, Germany, which could explain the apparent contradiction. The place he was born may have been Denmark at one point in time and Germany at another.

Notes:
1900 census indicates that Andrew and Eliza had been married for 28 years, which would put their marriage in about 1872, when Eliza was just 8. As Andrew’s first wife didn’t die until 1879, this seems unlikely.
