Brønshøj Kirke er en af Københavns ældste, bevarede bygninger.

Dette skyldes, at svenskerne under svenskekrigen havde slået lejr i Brønshøj (Vejnavnet Svenskerlejren i bydelen bærer vidnesbyrd herom) og brugte kirken som våben- og krudtdepot. Så mens næsten alt andet i København blev sønderskudt og resten af Brønshøj blev jævnet med jorden for at lave militærlejr, blev kirken stående. Koret og skibet er opført i 1100-tallet, tårnet er fra 1400-tallet

Kirken ligger lige ved Brønshøj Torv, hvor bus 2, 5, 8 og 350S stopper.

1930 Census -- Occupation Codes

Deciphering Occupation Codes Appended to the 1930 Census in One Step
Stephen P. Morse, PhD Joel D. Weintraub, PhD David R. Kehs, PhD

The following codes have been summarized from the 200+ page 1930 Census Bureau publication "Classified Index of Occupations". These codes were put on the census pages well after the enumeration was done, and therefore provide no additional information. However, sometimes knowing the code can help you determine the occupation in cases where the quality of the microfilm is poor or the handwriting of the enumerator is difficult to read.

These codes were transcribed by C. Marie Taylor of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.

Deep Linking
Deep linking refers to one website going directly (linking) to an internal page at another site rather than going to that site’s home page. For example, the site being linked to might be a catalog store with separate pages describing each item it is selling. The linking site might be a competitor selling the same products. Rather than having it’s own descriptions of the merchandise, it deep-links to the descriptions that the other site already put on the web.

which sums up the conflict between Danish parish registers and census online help and Statens Arkivers Arkivalieronline

"the bomber will always get through"

Google Search

In 1932 British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin had famously stated,
"The bomber will always get through"

I was born in 1936 and I remember hearing the air raids, and living with the 4 minute warning of a-bombs from the east, and with the IRA atacks.

I express my sympathy to the unlucky people caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, and their friends and family.

This time London - and next?

Canada -1911 CENSUS NEWS

Open Canada's Post 1901 Census Records, Home Page - The Global Gazette

ARTICLE - POST -1901 CENSUS NEWS: "On Tuesday 28 June 2005, at 11:00 am Eastern Time, Member of Parliament Dominic LeBlanc, Deputy Government Whip, rose and stated words to the effect that 'If the Speaker would seek it, I believe he would have the unanimous consent of the House to deem Bill S-18 -- An Act to amend the Statistics Act, to have passed Third Reading' (not necessarily an exact quote). That consent was given.

Bill S-18 has now passed all necessary stages in both the Senate and the House of Commons. All that remains to be done to make it law is for it to receive Royal Assent. It is expected this will be received shortly."

Maintaining the quality of the registers used in the Danish census

1. Since 1981 the census in Denmark have been based solely on administrative registers. Information
is gathered from several different registers and linked together by the use of a number of identifiers.
This ensures a total count of every variable that is needed to establish the Danish census.

2. The experiences over the years in using administrative registers for statistical purposes have shown
that the continuous and heavily administrative use of registers is the most important process in keeping
the quality of the registers. In the administrative use of registers it is possible to detect and correct
errors. The more intense the use of the register is the more errors can be found and corrected.

3. In addition to what the administrative users do for the register quality the statistical users have to
act to keep track of the quality of the registers. In this connection exchange of information is a key
topic.

4. In the paper some experiences of quality assessment and maintenance of registers, in connection
with the Danish census will be described, on basis of a presentation of concrete examples.

Y-Haplogroup Predictor

Y-Haplogroup Predictor: " Beta Version 2.0 is available for trial use. There are two major differences from Version 1.1X:

1. Up to 64 markers may be input. These include all of the markers tested by FTDNA, Biotix, DNA Heritage, Relative Genetics, Sorenson, and Trace Genetics. In addition, 14 markers not yet tested by any of these companies, but reported by studies at NIST, are included. For a few markers, there is not yet sufficient data for these to be activated in the program. Where a marker is not yet active, its name will be shaded in grey instead of blue. A number may be entered for such markers, but it will be ignored by the program."

: "1. To obtain test results from American male Atheys who descend from each of the probable sons of the immigrant, Capt. George Athy, who came to America in about 1661. These results can show that such descendants are closely related, thereby confirming the family history research.

2. To test the hypothesis that everyone of the Athey/Athy/Atha/Athon/Athan surname, whether of the U.S. branch or the English branch, has a single common ancestor, probably the historical figure, Gerard de Athee, who was a prot�g� of King John of England.in the late 12th and early 13th Centuries. Gerard was apparently the first of the family to adopt the Athee surname, which he took from the village of his birth, Athee sur Cher on the Cher River in the Touraine region of France. It seems unlikely that anyone else in Britian or Ireland would have adopted the same surname, though this remains to be proven. Since we know that he had descendants who used the Athey name, if we find that we have a single common paternal-line ancestor, then it was probably Gerard. Of course, if not all Atheys derive from the same ancestor, then we won�t know which group is from Gerard without further historical research."

Was your ancestor a prostitute?

The first time I saw the expressionn "ugifte fruentimmer"
I got a shock,because with only a modest undestanding of danish,
I misunderstood it and thought that one of my daughter's maternal ancestors had been a prostitute.

I was wrong see
google - "ugifte+fruentimmer"

I was wrong because a hooker was called an "offentligt fruentimmer"
google "offentligt+fruentimmer"

see also
http://www.kvinfo.dk/side/343/
Prostitutionens historie

and one of my favourite web pages in danish
"Bestemmelser ang. offentlige Fruentimmer i Odense"
http://www.prominentdata.dk/fruentim.html
these regulations ae from
Odense Politikammer den 31te December 1884.
You can just laugh at the victorian double moral.

back to our "ugifte fruentimmer"
unmarried Frauenzimmer
yes it is a loan word from german.
http://www.google - frauenzimmer
and literally means FRAU + ZIMMER

Dictionary English <> German:
Frauenzimmer
Translation 1 - 4 of 4 English ----German
dame ---- Frauenzimmer {n}
wench --- Frauenzimmer {n}
wenches --- Frauenzimmer {pl}
brazen hussy ---- unverschämtes Frauenzimmer {n} (ugs., veraltend)
http://odge.info/index.php?ebene=Search&kw=zimmer

http://odge.inf - frau = WOMAN
http://odge.info/ - zimmer = ROOM
and
http://odge.info/ - frauen = WOMEN

so WOMEN'S-ROOM
which is one of the mysteries of language,
how this word came about with its comples of meanings.

Now in the context of a danish lutherian minister and his churchbook where brides or mothers are classiffied as
jomfru = girl, maid or virgin or enke = widow,
fruentimmer means a strong minded woman who is not in her first relationship,
and who either raises her own children or gives them up for foster care (usually to a childless couple or the grandparents) ,
and who was not afraid to follow her desires against the conventions of the time.

If not in the church book the most successful way of tracing the father is to see who pays for the child's care (and confirmation)

FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL

Look at county court records, and if they have been destroyed,
look for the town or county hall bailiff's list of writs served which includes delinquent fathers,
and may even contain a confession of paternity sent back to the court.

At age 14 and confirmation and apprenticeship (lærling) were expensive so a plea may exist for additional funds.

The monies may be administered from a one time payment by a rich father deposited at a bank, in which case the priest or parish council may have correspondance confirming that the child is still alive before each payment.

The record off the mother's residence on the "10 months day" is crucial to deciding which parish shall pay for the child's upbringing if it came to that.

so "unmarried woman" is the fairest translation

BTW in modern Denmark there is no such thing as bastardy because all children have equal inheritance rights over 50% of the father's estate.
