Donna, I can see why this is interesting for you, and your uncle would be proud. I have traced some of my father's family to USA, only found one family, though. The grandson of my grandfather's brother had sent an e-mail to a Danish archive in 1997, but unfortunately I got to know about this only last year.

Recently, I saw a TV program called "Who am I". In that, Susan Sarandon traced her family, and the other day Jerry Springer did the same. That was a sad show. I expect there'll be more programs to come. I find it very interesting!
