Jens Hansen was a early convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. After his conversion in Denmark he later moved to Spanish Fork, Utah. He returned to Denmark 3 times as a missionary. He had the distinction that most other Daines did not have. He had 13 wives and 38 children. His house was a house of order. As a 3 great granddaughter I am proud of my grandfather and the heritage he left for us to follow.
