If Inge was Danish it would be more probable that her last name was spelled
Mller. Mueller is the German version or anglicized spelling of the name.
The mentioned link http://www.ddd.dda.dk/asp/dddform_uk.asp is excellent
for tracing ancestors in Denmark. It consists of a vast number of censuses
from different districts in Denmark. The problem in this case is that Inge
was born 1940 and the most recent censuses on this link is from 1916. (The
oldest date back to 1769).

I have tried to see if there was a Penny Mueller/Mller is the Danish
telephone directory, www.krak.dk . There isn't. There though are 26 persons
named Penny - but with other last names. Inges sister could be one of these
26 - if, that is, she now is married with an other last name. (There are no
persons with the name Pfennig listed in the Danish telephone directory.
Never even heard of such a name).
