Hans was born May 20, 1861 at his parents' farm, Gammelmoen, in Elverum. He was christened on September 29, 1861.
When Hans was nine both of his parents died within a few months of each other - Andrea in 1870 and Engebret in 1871. This left the seven children, ranging in age from 17 to infant, without a home, and they were dispersed to different households.
In 1874, four years after both parents died, Hans was staying in the Kjærneby household.
In the 1875 Norway census, Hans "Embretsen" (a common variation of Engebretsen) was still living at the Kjærneby farm in Elverum. He was now fourteen and his position in the household was lægdslem (welfare recipient). He resided there at least until he was confirmed, on August 10, 1876.
Hans' history after that time is being researched.
