Sorry, just saw this. I believe his Danskins were actually of English descent... the father was English, from what I can recall. Unfortunately the information I gave is the information provided by the adoption agency - they declined to give any further information, for some reason. (Perhaps back then, the mother requested she not be contacted.) I know the family that adopted him was Mormon, but I have no reason to believe his bio family was. I do know his birth mother's father was very strict, and the mother was worried he'd find out. This could indicate that they were religious, but on the other hand, it could've just been a mark of the times.
