==Record Offices== | |||
*Prior to civil registration, '''vital data was recorded in the parish register'''. | |||
*In 1924, Denmark implemented a '''nationwide civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths'''. | |||
*Although nationwide civil registration did not begin until the 20th century, '''Copenhagen began much earlier'''. Civil marriage registration began in 1851, and death registration began in 1840. Births were not registered civilly until the 1924 nationwide date. | |||
*Civil registration records are kept at the local civil registration office in each district, town or city (municipality). Therefore, you must determine the town where your ancestor lived before you can find the records. | |||
