Hi Esther, There are a couple of places that you might try to find
them. FIrst you could send a GEDCOM file to the email address at
this site, and maybe you will find a match there:
http://www.lklundin.dk/gedcomp/english.php

Also, you might post the information about these people in the
appropriate parishes at:
http://www.sognetraef.dk/index.asp?a=home
Perhaps some of your Danish relatives will find it there. Paula
