Fiona,
519 Second St. is between Quail and Ontario Streets. Best bet is St.
Patrick's parish, especially for families of Irish heritage. Church is
located on Central Ave., corner of Lake Ave. Parish is still open, though
pastor was living at St. Casmir's rectory the last I knew.

Which Hanson family are you looking for? One Hanson family lived on Orange
St., near Dove or Swan. My aunt married one of the sons from this family.
