My elder Danish King in year one (of the game) married a 16-year-old Hungarian princess. I was asked to contribute to a family relation war effort in her native country. I agreed but have no idea how. After a year, I see that the war is going well, but my contribution is 0%. Am I supposed to do something to help?
Join the war effort: how?

You contribute by sending over troops, of course. You don't have to, as you don't get punished if you don't send any help, which is a bit poorly implemented, but aside from upholding your interests, you can gain prestige by helping out, depending on your contribution (which goes up by doing useful things, e.g. battling or taking provinces).
Also piety in the case of holy wars.
Non-aggressors get more piety and prestige from a war, even if they end up doing all the heavy lifting.
How do I send him troops? I understand about rasing my own, but how do I join forces with him?
You can send the troops to a province with your ally's troops and look for the icon that says "Attach the army to always follow whatever". It's above the troop composition display, I think.
Raise your troops, and march them to the front.
Find an allied army, go to the province where they are, and you'll find the option to join them in your army panel. Or, do things on your own if you think you can. It'll still add to your contribution

You don't send him troops, you are a party to the war now and should send your own forces with your own generals to fight against your common enemy.
You can, however, send your armies to the provinces where your ally has armies and click on the little chain button to link an army to one of his and they'll follow him automatically if you don't want to bother with moving around troops, or if the enemy has bigger stacks, the AI tends to do that when it helps in your wars.

Many thanks to all, it helped and I dove into a war nearby that I was not terribly interested in but chose to learn from. Interesting how each time I move my army from one province to the next, the enemy moves in. I guess I need to leave tropps behind to secure it.
