Title: Denmark: translation of column headings
Post by: bbart on Thursday 31 January 19 22:07 GMT (UK)

I am finding documents for some Danish ancestors from Family Search, but I don't know what the column headings are.  I am hoping someone can lend a hand here!

The images are of the left and right hand side of either a birth or baptism:

Wow, that was fast!  Thank you very much, Ian!

 If I could ask one more question regarding the column for parent:  is the "23" part of an address?

Cheers.

She was 23 years old at the time and Hjortsvangården is probably the place of residence.

Thanks again for that!  Sorry for the slow thanks, but for some reason I had difficulty getting the site to load.

Hi
You may have this already but I wanted know what Hjortsvang was. It was/is a village:

bbart,

The Research Wiki on FamilySearch (last item on the Search menu) has a wealth of help and advice on Danish records, amongst others.  It's worth exploring if you intend to follow up on your Danish ancestors.

Ian, thanks again for finding out what Hjortsvang meant.  I was trying to make an occupation out of it, but now with your help, have found it on a map.  Thanks also for the census link!

Isabel, thank you for the guidance on research help!  It makes it much simpler when a language barrier exists!
