Hansen-Hanlon family

Debra Hansen-Hanlon (Ms Negga's character), her husband Craig, and their children Lucy (born 2005) and Oliver (born 2008).
==Brief Biography==
(From "Headcasts")
It's definitely on Donovan's side: Donovan's uncle Simon married Desta (our immigrant) and their son, Seth, is Debra's father.
At one point when things really sucked in urban Ethiopia, one uncle and his family moved to Germany and got themselves established. But it's hard for African immigrants to secure gainful employment (and this is a well-off, well-educated Ethiopian family) in Germany, so subsequent family members looking for opportunities outside of Ethiopia use Germany as a stepping stone, staying with the one established family, working their way through schooling, upping their education, polishing their English, and then moving on to work in a more accepting English-speaking country. 
The two Hansen families aren't close but there are occasional letters and annual birthday cards and small Christmas presents.
