The Denmark portal page has many helpful articles that can help you learn how to find, use, and analyze Danish records of genealogical value. There are also sections on the page that can help simplify the research process. In the '''''What Are You Looking For'' '''section, you can learn the basic strategies used for finding ancestors. The '''''Research Tools''''' section contains many valuable links, English guides to Danish websites, and other such tools that make research easier. Finally, the '''''Jurisdictions''''' section can help you locate an ancestor's place of origin, determine where records are located, and so much more.
The standard which FamilySearch uses is as follows: Town, Sogn (Parish), Herred (District), Amt (County), Denmark. Click on a county listed below to go to the Wiki article for more information on that county. <br>

== Jurisdictions  ==
 
In 1793 the Counties were reorganized into 24 Counties. However, Roskilde is filed under København so we only list 23 counties below. The churches in Copenhagen City are listed under the city rather than the county.
 
The Danish name for county is Amt. The organization of Danish records in the Family History Library Catalog is based upon this time period.

=== Parishes ===
Knowing which [[Denmark: The Parish (Sogn)|parish]] your ancestors came from is vital to Danish research. The parish listing has been divided into subsections due to the size of each file. Each list is alphabetically organized according to the modern Danish standard: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Æ, Ø, Å.

Jurisdictions[edit | edit source]

In 1793 the Counties were reorganized into 24 Counties. However, Roskilde is filed under København so we only list 23 counties below. The churches in Copenhagen City are listed under the city rather than the county.

The Danish name for county is Amt. The organization of Danish records in the Family History Library Catalog is based upon this time period.
