-Finding the death and burial record for your Danish ancestor is an important step in building the family story.

It may also help to find a probate of the deceased. You will find the entry of your ancestors death and burial in the [[Denmark: The Parish (Sogn)|parish]] records where the death and burial took place. <br>
