- Herman Bohn Clausen was a shipmaster (Skipper) and churchwarden (kirkev?rge) for R?nne. He is mentioned as being one of R?nne's five Aldermen (R?dm?nd) on June 28, 1646: "Morten Bone, Claus Kamb sen., Claus Kamb jun., Herman Bon Mortensen, Hermand Boen Clausen."
He owned several farms, including Bakkeg?rd, 18 Vdg. ?sterlars parish. He was one of 9 who were part of "Herredagen" (high court trial) held in 1646, which looked into the events surrounding the invasion (in 1645) of the Swedish Admiral Wrangel's forces. Herman was aquitted of any fault in those forces looting of Bornholm.
During the 1658 rebellion against against the Swedes he participated in the expedition attacking the Swedish held Hammershus fortress, and was one of the undersigning guarantors at that fortress' surrender. See under Jens Pedersen Kofoed (1628-1691) for more on this period in Bornholm's history.

From the ?ster Herred Tingbog 1674-1681:

In "R?nne By og Borgere" by M.K. Zahrtmann (pub. 1927) Herman's wife is identified as Kirstine Madsdatter (1624-1715). The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) results of a descendant identify her as being a member of the Haplogroup C4a1. Haplogroup C is believed to have arisen somewhere between the Caspian Sea and Lake Baikal some 60,000 years ago. It is a descendant of the haplogroup M. Haplogroup C is found in Northeast Asia (including Siberia). In Eurasia, Haplogroup C is especially frequent among populations of arctic Siberia, such as Yukaghirs and Nganasans. Haplogroup C is one of five mtDNA haplogroups found in the indigenous peoples of the Americas, the others being A, B, D, and X. The subclades C1b, C1c, C1d, and C4c are found in the first people of the Americas. C1a is found only in Asia. The C4a lineages have been found in all the three "kurgan sites" of south-west Ukraine; these three sites are not from the first Kurgan arrivals but rather from a late layer, surely Srubna culture, which is generally believed to be proto-Cimmerian. The Srubna culture (in English: Timber-grave culture), was a Late Bronze Age (18th - 12th centuries BC) culture. It is a successor to the Yamna culture (Pit Grave culture) and the Poltavka culture.
In 2010, Icelandic researchers discovered a C1 lineage in their home country, estimating an introduction date of 1700 or earlier, indicating a possible introduction during the Viking expeditions to the Americas. A Native American origin for this C1e lineage is likely, but the researchers note that a European or Asian one cannot be ruled out.
