the danish military archive is in the national archives Slotsholm Copenhagen
to use them you need to be fluent in gotisk håndskrift
my own expertise is from about 1840 to the present day in Demakr
Enmgland and Wales
a better point of contact will be
DIS-Danmark - english
DIS-Danmark is an association of genealogical researchers which uses
data ... DIS-Danmark has an active homepage where you can find
information about the ...
www.dis-danmark.dk/dis-english.asp
DIS-Danmark - Databehandling i Slægtsforskning
DIS-Danmarks HjemmeSide med informationer og henvisninger.
www.dis-danmark.dk/
this group is in relevant decline
and Denmark is on holiday until august
with the archives closed on Saturdays for the summer
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dis-danmark&btnG=Google+Search
if there are no danish descendants there is unlikely to be any other
research going on here
The other danish records of this period are very much about land
ownership and inheritance
so if no Roth estate no papers
he of course may be mentioned in military diaries
so you need to search the national index of the collections of private
archives contaning letters and papers of fellow officers
- on a dark and sticky evening in Copenhagen
