    Charlie’s maternal grandfather is Fulton Floyd Hanson, Jr. (the son of Fulton Floyd Hanson Sr. and Lorraine Mildred Orr/Petersen). Charlie’s grandfather Fulton was born in Minnesota. Charlie’s great-grandfather Fulton was the son of Asa Carl Hanson/Skinner and Bernice A. Fulton. Lorraine was the daughter of Alexander Martin Petersen and Mildred Charlotte Peterson. Lorraine was of Swedish and Danish descent.

    *Asa Carl Hanson appears to have been adopted by his mother’s second husband, who was a Swedish man, and that his father had the last name Skinner. Assuming that this is true, his mother was of Norwegian descent. Same thing with Lorraine. Orr is her mother’s second husband’s name. Lorraine was born in April 1920, and in January, her mother was still living with her first husband.

      I think there was some miscommunication. Asa’s mother was likely Norwegian. Bernice was of British descent. I try to be as clear in my comments. If I’m not making sense, please tell me. English is not my first language.
