Good morning researchers,
My grandfather had a cousin in Denmark (Herluf Hansen) who was born in Frederikshavn on 14 Dec 1895, son of Ole Christian Hansen and Marthine Larsdatter. Herluf married Else Marie Damm and this couple had a son O. at Bov near Åbenrå in southern Denmark in 1922. By 1977 Herluf lived in Odense and I do not know anything more about the family. We have an old photograph from Frederikshavn which we believe to be Herluf, his parents and siblings. It would be good to see if Herluf's descendants recognize the photo or would like copies of it.
Perhaps there are city directories of Odense, or a site where I could see if Herluf, Else and O. are buried there?
Herluf's siblings were:
Mariane Caroline, 1884-1949 of Ålborg, married Anton H. Klemme
Jørgine, 1886-1958 of Frederikshavn, married Søren Christian Christensen
Anna, 1889-1972 of Vejgaard, married Paul German Sørensen
Hans Christian, 1892-1959 of Løgstør near Ålborg, married Margrethe Jensen
Maren Johanne, 1898-1943 of Løgstør, married Anders Christian Andersen
Anders Åge Christian, 1901-1970 of Kalundborg, married Helga Marie Hansen
I have found that these couples all had children, but our family (in USA and Norway) is not in touch with any of them.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. My email is wolter.c5@gmail.com. I do not know much Danish but can understand quite a bit based on my study of Norwegian. Many thanks to anyone who has a suggestion.

The son O died in 2009. I'll send you an email with the names of wife and children.
The wife died in 2012.

Chris,
I just spoke with a relative of the Herluf Hansen-Family on the phone. They will contact you.
Hi Bente,
Thank you for looking up Karoline and her family! I am a beginner with Danish research and it's wonderful to find a few things in the churchbooks and census, also the obituaries from Aalborg. It's very interesting and exciting. I will try to search further with the links you shared.
Thanks again, Chris
Hi Britta,
Again, thank you for your email and for making contact with the grandchildren of Herluf Hansen. I'm thrilled that they are interested in our family's history and really look forward to hearing from them. I have a digital copy of the old picture.
Venlig hilsen,
Chris
