Hello, I am an American looking for relatives I know I have in Denmark. My grandparents, dad and uncle moved to America around 1914 or so. What is the best way to find them? Grandparents were Knud Rasmussen Hansen and married Josephine Andresen. They had two sons Christian Aksel and Sigvold (unsure of middle name).

My first thought is to try this forum:
https://www.slaegtogdata.dk/forum/index … d,3.0.html
Do you have further information? Birthday, birth place, last address ...................... I have never heard of a Sigvold, but Sigvald was a common name then.
You are also welcome to send me a PM

Neckline thanks so much for your reply. I will have to dig out papers but I believe the lived around Horse's (may not of spelled correctly). Grandpa dog was 10/31 and grandma 11/8, my uncle was June or July 15 and dad 10/07/1908. I will have to dig up years for Don.

Often, it is just possible to google the names, and you get information many generations back, but not in this case. 
The town is without doubt Horsens in Jutland.
I take that your grandpa was born on October 31th and your grandma on November 88th?
