GENEALOGY RESEARCH DENMARK

by Aurelia Clemons

---

This page is created in loving memory of my dear son EMMETT who always said,

"Let's just do it!"

Some of the greatest joy in my life has come through searching out and finding my Ancestors. These records do not include sources or notes but I do have them and will share them upon request.

Denmark has been the main focus of my extraction and research efforts. I started research in 1967 and became accredited in Denmark research about 12 years ago. Hoping to share what I have collected, I have created this HOME PAGE.

These complete records are for personal use only as all rights remain mine, and are not to be used for Commercial Gain by ANYONE. Records have been done as English/Danish and I apologize to the Danes for this, but this was done for myself so I could better understand the records. Have not used the extra characters in the Danish alphabet but use ae = æ , aa = å, o = ø; (=)for married, CH: = Child/Children/Børn, WIFE = Kone/Enke :
