Danish national archives
The parish registers have been held since 1645 in Denmark. Since 1812 these registers have been kept in double copies. As in France, you can find information on baptisms, confirmations, marriages or burials.
You can also find in the national archives The censuses, the files of the Court of Successions and the emigration lists.
See Online documents and do research in the archive base.
