Finding a baptism for Jens Peter Christiansen

Image
Danish ancestors – post 6:  Using  www.arkivalieronline.dk  – The Danish State Archives online parish registers website. You can also view scans of original census records on this site. There are instructions on the first page in English, an d once you click on that you will see ‘Generic Instructions’, which are also in English. Ignore the first 12 pages of this as a password is no longer required so there is no ‘set up’ required anymore, apart from ensuring you have Java installed on your computer. Most likely you already do. The rest of it is excellent.  To find the page showing Jens Peter Christiansen’s baptism: On the first (home) page, click on ‘Kirkebøger’ Then click on ‘Søg i kirkebøger’ Click on down arrow beside ‘Hent Amt’ (pink box), click on ‘Bornholm’ Click on down arrow beside ‘Hent Sogn’ , click on ‘Åkirkeby’ (last one) Now all the parish registers scanned and available for viewing for that parish will...

Time to plan ahead - where will you take your family history research this year?

In extraordinary times, it is often useful to revisit the past to put life into perspective. I was reminded of this as my current task having some free hours on hand is to prepare my wall full of paper files ready for scanning to digital and searchable files. In the process I have had to review the contents of numerous folders of family trees, notes from family gatherings, photographs and newspaper cuttings, and background historical data gathered to help inform my family histories. What a discovery process in itself ! What lives the ancestors lived - through pandemics, wars, floods, fires, heat waves, droughts, economies failing, illness and setbacks year after year, no matter what location they lived in and no matter the era. Sometimes you wonder how we all came to be where we are in relatively good health and reasonably good spirits - So here is your chance to look ahead and work towards the future for when our doors open and you have a chance to take advantage of the wo...
