Aarhus Kommunes Biblioteker - Local History Aarhus, AKA Århus, is Denmark's second largest city and the library has developed a great website for genealogy and local history.

Their english is a little quaint but the data is good.
Names FAQ - Hyppige spørgsmål: "in the beginning after the hunter-gatherers, there were farmers and traders - and vikings "

pause for music
pipe organ a Gigue by J???
turned up the woofer
and the echo on the surround sound system

WOW I FEEL REFRESHED

Weather for b37 5bx

darn site knows my post code

BBC - Radio 3 - Radio 3 homepage

No play list ;.) for now

Radio Times - The best thing on TV, Film and Radio. gave me shock double issue to January 2 2004. So scooped up some half price Xmas cards should get there for the New year and a lottery ticket for tomorrow.

Forgot my free bus pass so had to go back Getting around in the West Midlands with CENTRO

So the first time speaking with another person so I had become totally garrulous - it took three googles to get that spelling right !
Played with a little boy at the bus stop "can you count backwards ?" 5 4 3 2 1 then from 10 until the bus rolled to a stop.

Two bus drivers chatting away, they musn't, so told them off in a smiling way . . horrible drivers here in West Midlands bus service bumpy ride because they are late, drive too fast and burn out their brakes . . as an old pro driver it is so easy to drive smoothly an the passengers enjoy it. The London bus drivers are much better.


well loaded up my trolley
like a taxi driver doing the dracula I came out at sunset, but I was home before the street lights came on.

LIDL, being German, is the only place round here with good rye bread, I got 12 days skimmed milk in one litre cartons and replaced all the tins I've eaten.

I was down to one can of spaghetti in tomato sauce - I have the sort of WWII habit keeeping a stock cupboard as well as a larder, well the larder is a fridge freezer these days, no more walk in larder full of preserves in glass jars, jam even a ham or two hanging or rusting cans, and an attic full of apples carefully spaced not to touch each other. there used to be 3 sorts of apples (classe in now speak) cookers, eaters and keepers, the last might still be eaten in March with that special musty taste.

- I also had left about a pint of home made soup and quite a lot of rice and some porridge oats, but to digest the protein in bread and other grains, you need a liitle milk or cheese to supply some vital amino acids. (a Danish dietician told me)

So home to an orgy of grapes, and coffee and the Weakest Link

now to heat the spaghetti.

jpg parasites:
>>the lovely and talented Asha Anderson <<<
>broadcast on misc.writing

"The JPG Parasite page in my DeadBeat Gallery is dedicated to those poachers who secretly use someone else's website to remotely host a photo they've taken from them (hotlinking). It's one thing to download a photo for your personal use. That's common enough around the web. If you're at all decent about it, you rename it and store it on your own server. The jpg parasite, on the other hand, doesn't download the photo at all. He leaves it where he finds it and lets his host pay for the space and data transfer.

U surnames - efternavn U

structured the surname index for the Randers 1860 census surname index, or register as the Danes call it. X Y Z Æ also done

not putting it on the site map yet until further on

FT-1860 Købstad RANDERS register / indexes

I easily made 30 pages by h t m l boiler plate but many thousand names and links to be added and checked.

when this is finished the large first draft will be deleted and shrunk to a street index

OOPs boiler plate showing here
U surnames - efternavn U: "this part of the archive and these folio are in very poor condition and the film is no better to read. "
There is a full typescript ms. transcription in the archive in Randers but not in Copenhagen, and 716 pages or TIFF images to search.


Randers Census Folketælling
