The directories print the Hansen name at 72 addresses on 53 streets in 1940, in 17 of the city's neighbourhoods, with the close spelling Hanssen. At that many addresses it is many families, not one, so each street has its own page: the people we can follow there by first name and initials, and every line as printed.
