This is rapidly getting off topic. I have replied to Peggy privately indicating she consider joining the DENMARK rootsweb list, and more importantly letting her know that images of Danish church records and census records are available online without cost at http://www.sa.dk/ao/

If the information 'implies' records came from the 'parish' records, then double checking that parishes 'films' is not as hard. She may not have had legal access to photocopying equipment at the time, so only transcribed what she had access to, and/or was allowed. Some films are locked until the newest person on the record has met the age rule, others have been split up to be divided into each year. In the most recent records, most are similar in form to US Census Records, in that they have a printed one which the recorder filled in the names/facts. There are examples of these online with both English and Danish versions. Get these first.

One of my lines came from Denmark. They brought their four children with them to Canada, one my great grandmother. I have been in touch with a researcher who had help translating some records and she gave me her information, but not sources, which she said are in Danish. She seemed reluctant to send me the records in the original language, or maybe no longer has them. I read recently that Denmark kept excellent records that are wonderful for genealogists. Since I have the names she gave me and the dates and locations, I would so much like to find the sources and then try to have them translated. Do you or your cousin know how I could get access to those records online? Or is there a way I could find out where to write to get them? Unfortunately, I would have to write requests in English. Another problem for me is there were no surnames as we know them. I look at the Danish sources on Ancestry and don't know how to connect the dots, even though the researcher who gave me the information has explained the naming system. However I think that she would have added any ancestry.com sources if they were available. She has gone back to our third great grandparents born around 1800. (Four individuals). Are the records more difficult to find further back than that, do you know? I hope you don't mind my "interrupting." Anything connected to Denmark catches my attention. I find myself wondering how to find relatives now living in Denmark!
