Danish Emigration late 1800's

- Here you find links that are useful for danish genealogy.

The southern part of Denmark belonged to Germany 1864-1920, that's why here's also links to German emigration.

from my mail box
corrections by my eagle eyed correspondent in Denmark

Godparents are usually relatives)

I dont agree on 'usually', just as often friends or some influential person in the parish
[I have found several foster parents turning up as "grand parents" at confirmations
- in a time with no contraception the Danes coped well with illegitimate children
- BASTARDS as the hard nosed english genealogists love to say
- especially in the working classes where 14 year old girls were sent away from home to start work with the usual consequences

OK OK skuffebarn and other rude words were used but they were not as institutionised as in England in the same period which led to the sorry story of the British Home Children. Children were workers and an asset.

These ex-house maids with children often married eventually after living at home again with their mothers, and their children took their step fathers surname.

In the church books the mothers may be called
Fruentimmer
En kvinde, som har fået barn uden for ægteskab.

not to be confused with offentligt fruentimer or prostitutes

Skuffebarn. Barn, som en ugift moder anonymt havde lagt i en kasse opstillet ved Frederikshospitalet (Fødselsstiftelsen) i København s glossary in Danish]


1. pre 1660 - divided into FIEF/LEN, headed by nobleman (Fief Accounts) [I would say land owners]

2. 1660-on - by Amter, headed by Amtmand (perfect appointed by king)

not perfect but prefect

5. STRADSRETTEN (City Court) - 1771-on, Copenhagen

stadsretten

It seems to have gone missing along with the picture of the children by the dannebrog decked long stalked green cabbage in use as a poor man's christmas tree

The cabbage conserved by boiling - in a bath !
until mushy and moulded into tennis ball sized lumps which were dried.

then served as party food when reheated

CNN.com - CDs, DVDs not so immortal - May 6, 2004: "FACT BOX
'CD rot' Dos: 1. Handle discs by the outer edge or the center hole.
2.Use a felt-tip permanent marker to mark the label side of a CD.
3. Keep discs clean. Wipe with cotton fabric in a straight line from the center of the disc toward the outer edge.
4. Return discs to their plastic cases immediately after use.
5. Store discs upright (book style) in their cases.
6. Store discs in a cool, dry, dark place with clean air.
7. Open a recordable disc package only when you are ready to record.
8. Check the disc surface before recording."

CDs die in as little as 10 years

"CD rot," a gradual deterioration of the data-carrying layer. It's not known for sure how common the blight is, but it's just one of a number of reasons that optical discs, including DVDs, may be a lot less long-lived than first thought.

He went through his collection and found that 15 percent to 20 percent of the discs, most of which were produced in the '80s, were "rotted" to some extent.

The aluminum layer that reflects the light of the player's laser is separated from the CD label by a thin layer of lacquer. If the manufacturer applied the lacquer improperly, air can penetrate to oxidize the aluminum, eating it up much like iron rusts in air.

Part of the problem is that most people believe that it's the clear underside of the CD that is fragile, when in fact it's the side with the label. Scratches on the underside have to be fairly deep to cause skipping, while scratches on the top can easily penetrate to the aluminum layer. Even the pressure of a pen on the label side can dent the aluminum, rendering the CD unreadable.

In Danish but some very important news

http://www.familysearch.org

Når siden nu alligevel nævnes, så er det fordi, hjemmesiden rummer mange spændende oplysninger, og mon ikke vi alle kunne trænge til en nærmere gennemgang af siden. En sådan gennemgang har A.M. Krogh-Thomsen lavet og lagt på nettet. Den kan findes på adressen:

Mormonkirkens batch-numre

"Familysearch.org" rummer ikke kun slægtstræer, men den indeholder også registre til større eller mindre dele af f.eks. danske kirkebøgers fødsler og vielser. Disse "sogne-registre" har hvert sit såkaldte batch-nummer. Med dette nummer i hånden kan man trække alle ud fra det pågældende sogn. Indgangen til disse batchnumre har flere gange være diskuteret i DIS-Forum, bl.a. i "Metode & teknik" i slutningen af februar 2004. En samlet oversigt kunne lette søgearbejdet i "Familysearch.org".

Efter et større registrerings- og kontrolarbejde af bl.a. Michael S.A. Thomsen og Arne Feldborg har de fået lavet en genvej til disse batchnumre.

Michael S.A. Thomsen har lagt dem på nettet i en pdf-udgave, hvor de er sorteret efter amt, herred og sogn. Den kan findes på adressen:

http://mikethomas.homepage.dk/BatchNumbersMar2004.PDF

Arne Feldborg har lagt det hele i en database, hvor man trække det ønskede sogn frem. Desuden kan man med et valgt batchnummer søge direkte på et personnavn i Familysearch.org. Adressen hertil er:

Et flot stykke arbejde som fortjener megen ros.
