What else do you know about him? Dates, marriage, name? That could help
us. I think I've seen your name here on the list before, but I'm not
sure, if you are new to Danish research, take a look at the FAQ link at
the bottom of each email. That will help a lot. Do you know about the
census online at www.dda.dk? I'm guessing that if this is a great great
grandfather, he was probably born before 1850 or so? There are a lot of
the census records for that period online, and you could possibly find
him in the census online easily now, if you have a birth year, or a
not-too-common name to search for. Paula
