 Records of births, marriages, and deaths are commonly called vital records because critical events in a person's life are recorded in them. Church records are vital records made by the clergy. They are often referred to as parish registers or churchbooks. They include records of baptisms [''Dåb''], marriages [''Giftemål''], and burials [''Begravelser'']. In addition, church records may also include [[Scandinavia Introductions|introductions]], communions, absolutions, church accounts, confirmations, and lists of people [[Scandinavia Moving In and Moving Out|moving into or out of the parish]].
-On May 20, 1645 King Christian IV sent a royal decree to the Bishop of Sjælland with instruction to have the ministers keep a record of births, marriages, and deaths. The following year, the same decree was issued to the Bishops of Jylland, Skåne, and Fyn,&nbsp;along with&nbsp;the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. Some pastors began&nbsp;keeping records much earlier than this. The earliest parish record is for the city of Naksov, beginning in 1572.

 Early on the Danish government recognized only the Evangelical Lutheran Church, with a few exceptions. The Reformed church was given official rights on 15 May 1747. The existing Mosaic (Jewish) congregations were officially recognized on 29 March 1814. The Catholics were served by the clergy attached to the Austrian Embassy. In the city of Fredericia, which enjoyed religious freedom from 1682, Catholic registers started in 1685.

+== Roman Catholic Church Records ==
 King Christian III legally established the Danish National Church (Folkekirke) as the state church of Denmark on October 30, 1536.  By the 1700s, the Catholic church and other denominations were allowed to have congregations in Copenhagen as there were merchants, tradesmen, and their families from other countries living in the capital city. The church records kept by the Catholic Church are nearly identical to the [[Denmark: Church Records|Lutheran church records]]. They consist mainly of christenings, marriages, and burials, and a few miscellaneous records such as confirmations. One of the few differences is that the occurance of the Latin alphabet and language is a lot more frequent than in the Lutheran records.<br>

 Burials were recorded in the church record of the parish where the person was buried. The burial usually took place within a few days of the death.
-Burial registers give the deceased's name, death or burial date and place, and age. After 1814, the place of residence, cause of death, and names of survivors are often listed.

 ===Writing for Records===
 As the Evangelical Lutheran Church (''Den Danske Folkekirke'')  became the official religion of Denmark after the Reformation in 1536, records not currently in use are deposited at the National Archives (''Rigsarkivet''). For information about records still held by the parish contact the local parish. Contact information can be found on the [https://www.folkekirken.dk/ Danske Folkekirken]'s website.
+==== Church Parish Offices  ====
+All parishes of the Lutheran church have their records that are less than 50 years old. You can write to the local parishes for information. When writing to a local parish, it is best to make your request minimal and specific. Do not send money at first. If there is a charge, you will be billed. The addresses for Danish parishes is:
+Kordegns kontor <br>(Name of the parish) Sogn <br>(Name of the parish) <br>Denmark
+It is courteous to included a self-addressed envelope. Allow four to six weeks for a response.
