| Due to community feedback the Danish Word List is now available in a PDF format. This list was created by revising the Genealogical Word List for Denmark that is now out of print. Some words that did not seem relevant to Danish research were removed. Many words were added including many occupations. There are 1, 278 terms in this list. The PDF will be updated as the Word List is improved. See [[Image:Danish Genealogical Word List October 2010.pdf]]

| | The map below shows county boundaries from about 1793 to 1970.<br> |
| | {{Danish Amts 1793 to 1970}} |
|
| |
|
| In 1793 the Counties were reorganized into 24 Counties . The Danish name for county is Amt. The organization of Danish records in the Family History Library Catalog is based upon this time period.<br>
| | == Counties == |
| | | 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> |

| | 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. |
