I got a letter from the Norwegian Foreign Ministry about Hans Hansen. It was written to a american author, who forwarded it to me. Here are some more details about Hans Hansen after the race in 1908:

"According to records, it looks as though he returned safely to Tomsk in Siberia and later on moved to Biisk, where, allegedly, he obtained a post with a firm named E.G. Morosowa, Nachfolger. AFter that he seems to have moved to St. Petersburg, where, accordign to a report dated 26 June 2011, he operated a roller-skating-rink. His last known address appears to be Kamenino-stropecki, St. Petersburg".

Is it possible to find out something more about him after we know these details?

Best, Martin

Yes - your contact was bery helpful and nice. She found three documents, regarding citizenship and marriage.

It seems that Hans Hansen, also written Gans Gansen (�� or �� ), He married with Raisa Illarionovna Smirnova - later Raisa Illarionovna Gansen.

She was a Kovrovskaya philistine daughter and was 21 yrs old in 1898, when they married.

According to newspaper articles, they had a daughter called Lydia, but we didn't find any info on her.

Maybe someone else in here are able to find more details about Raisa Illarionovna Smirnova?

Some rumors said that they were seen in St. Petersburg after the race in 1908 - but I can't confirm this...
