The ladies on the staff of Rootsweb are behaving like chickens in a hen house - maintaining a pecking order at all costs LOL

I changed my mind about giving up some of my boards
but I find they are shutting me out anyway

In all Danish -sen name genealogy you have

to be clear that these are patronymics

and were used anywhere whenever

someone called Poul had a son.



Like my WATKINS from Wales - they are

name-brothers

and are 99.9% unrelated see my FAQ



Danish personal names and naming



Danish Archives FAQ



the way forward in Danish genealogy is

by parish and occupation.



To this day Civil Registration is done

by the local church offices and

- unlike the UK

there are no national indexes.



The Central Office of Civil Registration

is not available to genealogists for

another 50 years or so (Google CPR number)



The need for a strong defence force means

that there are very good records going

back to the 1780ies but these are not

on line or even filmed lægd ruller



The project of indexing of

folketælling = census is going well

- coverage and county maps -

and soon images of all

church books and census

will be on line, if unindexed,

to about 1891.



In 1923 police records, card indexes

of residents,  were turned into the

Folkeregister for each kommune

= town or administrative unit,

often containing several parishes today.



Googling some of these terms with

place names, will find pages

about these administrative practices.



I am making another FAQ:-

Danish family history with Hugh 

"How to find your Danish roots,

or your cousins abroad"



Is your data on the web where

 Danish researchers  might find it ?



good sharing
