Gilbert Hansen

Gilbert Hansen was born in 1841 in Norway.

Gilbert immigrated to America sometime before 1864 and eventually settled in western Michigan.

He stood 5’6” with hazel eyes, brown hair and a light complexion and was a 23-year-old laborer possibly living in Manistee, Manistee County when he enlisted in Unassigned on February 29, 1864, at Grand Rapids for 3 years, and was mustered the same day.

There is no further record.
