Using Danish Gazetteers to Determine Jurisdictions in Denmark: Introduction

This class discusses how we can identify farms, towns, parishes, and counties using two gazetteers Krabsens Stednavnebase and FamilySearch Research Wiki. You can use a gazetteer to find the places where your family lived and determine the civil and church jurisdictions over those places. Krabsens Stednavnebase is an online Danish gazetteer and is searchable using names of farms/towns or parishes. Place names found on FamilySearch Research wiki are a combination of place names found in J. P. trap’s gazetteer and Krabsen’s stednavnebase. In addition to finding your place names on the FamilySearch Research Wiki, you will also find helpful information regarding your places.
