"Here in the Danish Demographic Database (DDD) you can search for information in a wide range of different sources. You can search for '''individuals or families''' when you have some information in advance. Furthermore, the people you are looking for must be found in the databases. More data is added to the databases all the time." | "Here in the Danish Demographic Database (DDD) you can search for information in a wide range of different sources.

"Censuses are a good source for finding information about ancestors. Here you can e.g. see information on age, occupation, marital status and with whom a person lived. After 1834, the censuses were usually held every 5 years. So far, most censuses have been entered, and therefore you have the best chance of finding the people you want in the censuses. Data is divided into counties, as they were divided before 1970. You can choose between several search options: with or without area suggestions, simple or more advanced search, in one or more counties and finally you can search simultaneously for a household/family when you know , who have lived together." | "Censuses are a good source for finding information about ancestors.

"A church book is a protocol with information about the ecclesiastical actions in a parish. In this database you can search in entered church registers divided by actions. The church records contain information about many people in each entry, therefore you are offered the opportunity to choose which role or type of person you are looking for. In 1646, the priests were required to register baptisms, betrothed/married and deaths in the parish. But it is far from all parishes that there are church registers from the 17th century. | |||
'''Before 1814:''' the church registers were not kept on forms. Some priests entered the church acts into a kind of home-made charts, while others entered them chronologically. | |||
'''After 1814:''' the registrations became more systematic with pre-printed forms, and two copies of the church register were kept: a main ministerial book and a counter-ministerial book. The main ministerial book was kept by the priest, while it was the clerk who kept the counter-ministerial book. | |||
