Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | As with all Danish research it is most important to understand what political jurisdictions the ancestor of research lived in. In Denmark there are a few key jurisdictions to be aware of. One such is the Amt. The Amt, or county, in Denmark is a political jurisdiction that was established on the 19th of February 1662. From 1662-1793 there were many Amts throughout the country. At the beginning of 1793, the many Amts were combined and rearranged into larger units, making the number 24. Two exceptions to the Amts were the cities of København (Copenhagen) and Frederiksberg. When trying to find records for these two cities they are normally listed under København (Copenhagen) Amt; however, historically, these two cities acted as both their own Amt and kommune. |
