Once you have found the family's/individual's address in Copenhagen, the next step is to determine what jurisdictions the street belonged to. The jurisdictions will determine where you look to find the vital records concerning your family. The following tools will help you determine the jurisdictions:


#[[Copenhagen: Parish List|Copenhagen Parish List]]: A list of the parishes of Copenhagen, when they were formed, and what parish(es) they were formed from.
 
#[[Copenhagen: Street-Parish-Police District Index|Copenhagen Street-Parish-Police District index]]: an index that states the parish and police district that each street belonged to.
If you cannot find the birth date or age in any of these records, you may need to begin researching one of the children of the ancestor. Remember to always start from what you know then work to the unknown.<br>
