Hi Maggie, I my grandfather was Danish so I've had a go at it but not speaking Danish it is not that easy. I first went on http://genforum(.)genealogy(.)com a great site for all different countries - selected Denmark and put a request on there. I got a reply from someone who suggested www(.)ddd(.)dda(.)dk you click on the British Flag for the English version. remove the () - good luck. Christine |

Hello Maggie, this site can sometimes be a good start. The format has changed, but if you click the/all the headings on right one by one, you never know ! I checked Hansen, you'll be there all night. www.rat.de/kuijsten/navigator/denmark/index.html Have fun, Derek in France PS just change the name of the country in url for other countries |

Rootsweb have loads of message boards for surnames, countries, towns etc. Also the message board at Ancestry As they are international there's a chance you might be lucky, I've had a few replies. |

Thank you everyone for the suggested sites I will give them a go and let you know if I have any success. Derek - Yep Hansen in Denmark is a bit like Smith in England! There are tonnes of them! Any other suggested sites gratefully received. Regards Maggie |

Ive got the same problem - Hansen that appears in East London as a cabinet carver. Made no headway with him at all. |
