The registers indicate who sent the adoption application. If it was Mothers Help, there may be records up until 1976 in their archives at the National Archives. In the event the adoption was prepared by Mothers Help, there may be many details to be found. | |||
From 1923-1947 you'll find only the register for the appropriation of county Overpræsdiets archive at Provincial Archives. The other documents, please see the Ministry of Justice archive at the National Archives. | |||
