As Denmark is a Kingdom, a person's social standing has always been important in the culture. Whether or not a person was rich or poor will also determine what records are available for you to research in. You will usually find an ancestor's social standing when you discover the occupation of the ancestor. Words such as ''fattig'' (poor), ''Madame'' (madame), ''Herr'' (Mr. or lord), ''plejebarn ''(foster child), and so forth, are some of the key words you will need to be aware of. | As Denmark is a Kingdom, a person's social standing has always been important in the culture.
