=== Records | === Slesvig-Holsten (Schleswig-Holstein) Civil Records 1874–1920 === | ||
[https://www.sa.dk/en/ | |||
Schleswig-Holstein became a province of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1867, which became part of Germany in 1871. Civil registration in Prussia began on 1 October 1874. The northern part of Schleswig split off from Germany and joined Denmark in 1920 (the rest remained a Prussian province until 1946). As such, civil registration records were created for the province of Schleswig-Holstein, including the now Danish part of the former province, during the years 1874–1920. | |||
