Most Danish emigrants left through the port of København (Copenhagen). (See also FamilySearch: [[Copenhagen: | Most Danish emigrants left through the port of København (Copenhagen). (See also FamilySearch: [[Copenhagen: Emigration and Immigration|Copenhagen: Emigration and Immigration]].) The departure records from this port are called passenger lists. These lists begin in 1869. The information in them varies over time, but it usually includes the emigrants' names, ages, occupations, and destinations. Relationships and last residence or birthplace may also be given. | ||
