Seeking information on the life and descendants of Hans Jorgen THOMSEN b. 13 Nov 1889 in Manhattan NY, son of Carl Martin Oluf THOMSEN (1859-1916), a druggist, and Bolette DREWES (1859-1918). The parents, both b. in Denmark, were m. 23 Jan 1886 in Manhattan NY; three other children died young.

Hans Jorgen THOMSEN married abt. 1914, prob. in NYC, to Clara [UNKNOWN], who was b. 1892-1896 in NY and appears to have d. 2 Jul 1937 in Manhattan; her father was b. Germany and her mother b. Ireland. They had at least two children: a son, Hans Oluf Harderup THOMSEN b. 6 Jul 1915 in Houston TX; and a dau. Barbara THOMSEN b. 1922-1923 in Manhattan NY.

Hans Jorgen THOMSEN was an insurance executive and spent his early years with the North Britain and Mercantile Insurance Co. of London, first (1914-1920) as their field agent in Houston TX and later (1920-1930) as the secretary of the U.S. office in New York City. Details are lacking after 1930, and the date and place of his death are unknown.

I would be grateful for information or leads that will shed new light on the wife of Hans Jorgen THOMSEN, the names of his three siblings who d.y., and the names of any children other than Hans and Barbara. I will of course be happy to share any information that is of interest to other researchers.
