Hi i have been looking for my cousins for years.

There has been no contact with them since before 1976. If anyone has any info that would be fab

They also now have a half sister who lives in Denmark who they do not know about, and i know she has also been looking for them.

Hello, and welcome to RootsChat! 

RootsChat is meant for finding ancestors, rather than living relatives.

Personal details of any people known or thought to be living will be removed, in accordance with RootsChat policy, to avoid spamming and other abuses. So people here will be able to give you general tips and hints how to proceed, but not any concrete details.

You will also find more tips here:

Good luck!
