This is a different Paula, chiming in on this. I must have missed seeing your message the first time you posted it. Do you think that all of those folks moved to Denmark permanently? I'm not sure how familiar you are with Denmark, but Rinkøbing is the name of both a city and a county. How do you know that they went to Ringkøbing? Or is that a guess? There is no national death index or even a county index. If I were you, I'd join the Denmark Rootsweb list and ask there. Some of the native Danes might know of resources for finding folks from other countries that I don't know about. (I'm the list owner). More info here:
