Online Parish Churchbooks
The Danish Archives have started scanning parish churchbooks, and making them available online! So far 23 books are online with scans that can be viewed for each page. The interface is in Danish but very easy to figure out. Imagine the convenience of not having to depend on the delivery of microfilm to family history centers. Bravo to the Danish Archives!!

Paula Goodfellow to DENMARK-L
replying to Are things like Danish census' on the Internet? How access?

There is a partial transcription online at www.dda.dk.

That site is free.

There are also scanned images, with no index, organized by parish, for
much of the census at www.arkivalieronline.dk .
You'll need to register for a user name and password.
When you have that, you can look at those images.

You'll also need to download a TIFF viewer if you don't have
one.

Here's instructions to using the site, which someone else posted
earlier today:
"Go to the main page http://www.arkivalieronline.dk/;, and type in
your email and password in the upper right and click login.

When the page refreshes,
click on Søg i kirkebøger (for church books) or
Søg i folketællinger (for census records).

If you choose kirkebøger,
you will get a new page that allows you to choose the Amt/Herred/Sogn,
then you will get a list of time periods for the church records of that parish
so click on one of those.

A new page will appear with an Opslag dropdown menu,
and since it's impossible to tell which of the XXX
opslag is the one that has what you're looking for, you will have to
guess, view it, choose another, view that, etc.

Keep in mind that births of males are grouped together, followed by births of females,
and the same is true for confirmations and deaths.

When you're done looking at church books and want to look at the census,
click on Søg i folketællinger in the upper left of any page,
choose the year and location from the dropdown menus,
and click Hent Oplysninger.
When the page refreshes, you'll get the familiar Opslag dropdown menu, and
again, you'll have to guess, look, guess again."
