| FamilySearch Wiki is a community website dedicated to helping people throughout the world learn how to find their ancestors. Through the Denmark page you can learn how to find, use, and analyze Danish records of genealogical value. The content is variously targeted to beginners, intermediate, and expert researchers. The Denmark page is a work in progress, your contributions and [[FamilySearch Wiki:Feedback|feedback]] are essential!

| | | ==Country Information== |
| == Featured Content == | | Denmark is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe bordering [[Sweden Genealogy|Sweden]], [[Norway Genealogy|Norway]], and [[Germany Genealogy|Germany]]. Danish is the official language with Faroese, Greenlandic, and German being recognized languages. |
| | |
| 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]]

| | === 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. |
