Here was Henrik's explanation of the database for my blog.
"This reply is only about the Danish Emigration Archive.
It covers only emigration from Denmark in the period 1869-1940, but only the period up to 1908 is yet in the database.
Consequently emigration from that part of Denmark which was under German rule 1864-1920 is not covered, i.e. the counties Haderslev, Aabenraa, Sønderborg and Tønder north of today’s border.
The register was written by the police in Copenhagen but covers all Denmark.
From the main page http://www.udvandrerarkivet.dk/udvandrerprotokollerne/  it is possible to choose English among many other languages.
Once here, you can search for person’s by filling in the form and choose “Start Search”.
When writing a person’s name you write the family name first followed by one or more first names. Example “Madsen, Viggo”.
Narrow your search by filling in as many boxes as possible, but be aware that you can also narrow too much to get a result.
Remember that names of person’s and places are often spelled in different ways and use your imagination. Kristensen may be Christensen etc.
If you know the year, but not a more precise date, you just write the year and nothing more.
There is an additional register with about 4000 people who emigrated in 1879-1887 via Hamburg, and are not covered by the ordinary register: http://www.ddd.dda.dk/vejlelister/soeg_udvandrede.asp
This register is only searchable in Danish (Name, Occupation, Parish, Year, ID-code)."
