After selecting the desired book, it is a bit of trial<br />

<strong>and</strong> error to locate the correct record type <strong>and</strong> date.<br />

There is a color code next to the Opslag (poster) number<br />

to show which pages have been viewed.<br />

Finding the Parish<br />

The good news is that all of the older parish records<br />

are available online for free; however, you do need<br />

to know the parish in order to find the desired records.<br />

It also helps to know the exact date of an<br />

event. Review U.S. vital records, military, immigration<br />

<strong>and</strong> naturalization records for clues. I have<br />

been able to locate the images of several records<br />

after finding the dates <strong>and</strong> places from IGI entries<br />

at <strong>Family</strong>Search.com.<br />

The Danish Demographic Database, listed next,<br />

can possibly locate individuals in census records that<br />

often provide the birth parish <strong>and</strong> timeframe as well<br />

as the necessary details to narrow down the search<br />

for a census record image. One record can often provide<br />

the necessary information such as birthplace,<br />

age, or home to help locate other records.<br />

Parish Registers—Images<br />

Click on Søg i kirkebøger (Search in parish registers)<br />

Select the desired Amt (County), Herred (Alle is<br />

for All), <strong>and</strong> Sogn (Parish). A list of the available records<br />

will then appear.<br />

1858 Births in Trinitatis, Kobenhavn<br />

Birth entries show the Entry number, the Date,<br />

Child’s full name, Christening Date (in church or at<br />

Home), Parent’s Names, Mother’s Age, <strong>and</strong> the names<br />

of the Godparents. The Patronymic naming system<br />

was in use until 1860. There was a transition period<br />

as people began to use family surnames.<br />

1858 Marriage Record for Lorenz Christian<br />

Neuhaus <strong>and</strong> Regina Oelund<br />

List of Records for Kongens Lyngby<br />

The Keys for the codes that appear at the top of<br />

each column are: F-Fodte (Birth), K-Konfirmered<br />

Marriage entries contain the Bride <strong>and</strong> Groom’s<br />

name, age, occupation, <strong>and</strong> residence along with the<br />

two Bondsmen, <strong>and</strong> the marriage date. The last entry<br />

is if the marriage was performed in the church<br />

or at home, <strong>and</strong> if it was done at home, the date that<br />

permission was given.<br />
