G2G: Newly available Denmark church records on FamilySearch

Question

Last night, I searched on FamilySearch for records on some Danish ancestors.  I was surprised to find record after record that I had not seen before for profiles that were researched and created just a few months ago.

Sure enough, FamilySearch released 'Denmark Church Records, 1484-1941' (aka 'Danmark Kirkebøger, 1484-1941') on 10/11 Nov 2017.  This database contains 2,399,826 images of baptisms, marriages, and burials.  More info here.

So, if you have profiles of Danish people that were created before that date, you might want to search to see if there are new records available.

What would we do without FamilySearch?

Yes!!  This new database just allowed me to break down my remaining Danish immigrant ancestor brick wall.

In addition to church records, multiple new or updated Denmark census years are available:

1. 1835
2. 1840
3. 1845
4. 1850
5. 1855
6. 1921
7. 1925

With three Danish great-grandparents, I may get through a brick wall or two with this -- thanks for posting!

Answer 1

Thanks a lot for letting us know! I'm going to check my Danish ancestors first thing tomorrow! :-)

You better give yourself a lot of time.  I started when I got up this morning and there's no light at the end of the the tunnel yet.  ;-)

Again a whole day at WikiTree, yes, but as I don't have that many Danish ancestors, I only stayed on FamilySearch for an hour or so ;-)
