Hans Juulsen

Hans Juulsen was born in Raarup on April 6, 1790. His parents were Juul Jensen and Maren Jensdatter. He was christened in his parent’s home on the day that he was born. His christening was confirmed in the church of Raarup on May 24, (Whit Monday) 1790.  Ane, who was a daughter of Jorgen Krage, carried him.  His godfathers were Jens Andersen, Hans Nielsen Snedker and Jorgen Kusk’s stepson Anders. His godmothers were the wives of Michel Nielsen and Thomas Sorensen from Raarup.  
During his military service Hans Juulsen had an important position in the Zealand Hunting Corps (a military title) and his position was called  “hunter.”   He married the widow, Johanne Marie Jorgensdatter on November 2, 1816 in the church of Raarup. On February 28, 1817 he was given the copyhold of a farm in Raarup from the manor of Boller. Actually he took over the copyhold from his wife’s late husband.  He bound himself to rebuild the old ramshackled farmhouse at his own expense. 
Hans and Johanne Marie had three children together: Maren Kirstine Hansdatter (born 2/14/1817), Juhl Hansen (born 2/1/1819, died 3/28/1895) and Jens Hansen Juul (born 1/4/1823, died 10/21/1901). 
Johanne Marie Jorgensdatter died in May 19,1860 in Raarup and was buried in the churchyard cemetery on May 26, 1860. 

Juhl Hansen, (son of Hans and Johanne Marie) had a son when he became a widower.  That son’s name was Hans Juulsen (same name as his grandfather). Juhl then met and married the widow Kathrine Skov Jorgensen who had six children from her previous marriage.  
On May 25, 1861 Hans Juulsen (born 4/6/1790) married one of Kathrine Skov Jorgensen’s daughter’s.  Her name was Ane Marie.  In other words, Hans married his son’s stepdaughter. Ane Marie was born on March 26, 1837 in Raarup on the farm called Ornsvig.  Hans was 47 years older than the young Ane Marie. On October 13, 1862 Ane Marie gave birth to a son. They named him Jorgen Juul Hansen.  
Juhl Hansen’s son from his first marriage, Hans Juulsen, married Kathrine who was the daughter of Kathrine Skov Jorgensen from her first marriage. The two Hans Juulsens with the same name caused some confusion so they were referred to as “Old Hans Juhl” and “Little Hans Juhl.” It has been said that when Juhl Hansen drove to Raarup to visit his father, Old Hans Juhl (that is Hans Juulsen) he would say: “I am going down to visit both of my son-in-laws.” 

Old Hans Juulsen died August 19, 1870.  He was buried in the churchyard of Raarup on August 25,1870. As to the administration of his estate: Its worth was estimated at a sum of 1600 Rigsdaler [rix-dollar][1]. There was 770 Rigsdaler for the children after the expenses were subtracted and his widow had received her inheritance (one-half).  However, his widow increased this sum to 200 Rigsdaler to each child. The inheritance of the under age son, Jorgen Juul Hansen, was to remain in the estate. In return he had a first mortgage on the property.
Ane Marie Jorgensen (Old Hans Juulsen’s widow) died on June 16, 1906. Their son Jorgen Juul Hansen had no descendants when he passed away. 

So Ane Marie Jorgensen was married to her stepfather’s father and Kathrine Jorgensen was married to her stepfather’s son. 
Old Hans Juhl as well as Little Hans Juhl had children.  Their mothers were sisters and they were also cousins.
Hans Juulsen’s son, Jorgen Juul Hansen, was the half-brother of Juhl Hansen in Ornsvig. At the same time he was a paternal uncle to Little Hans Juhl, who was 22 years older than him.  Little Hans Juhl made a show of being uncle to his own paternal uncle, as his wife Kathrine was a sister to the mother of Jorgen Juul Hansen, namely Ane Marie. Old Hans Juhl was great-grandfather to the children of Little Hans Juhl. Therefore, his wife was their “great grand-mother,” but she was the sister of their mother, and that is what she was called (in Danish: Moster).
