Barsebäck, Malmöhus, Sweden/Denmark birth date

I haven't done any research in Denmark.

 

Ancestor born 1694 while Barsebaäck was under rule of Denmark. What place do I need to go to do that research.  

 

Thanks for your help

Actually Denmark lost Skåne, including Barsebäck, to Sweden in 1658 and never regained it so it was part of Sweden in 1694. What you are probably referring to is although Denmark lost Skåne in 1658, Sweden did not fully incorporate it into the kingdom of Sweden until 1711. In between those dates, it was technically a duchy meaning the king had less authority and the people were still allowed to speak Danish. Fortunately, before the Danes lost it, they started keeping parish records in 1648 and those have survived. Parish records are kept by the current country so you will find them at the link Elder Baker just gave you and also on ArkivDigital.

Thanks for the history dates.

For many generations these ancestors lived in Barsebäck, Malmöhus, Sweden. Based on Bodil's death I calculated her birth to be 1694 but can't find any births that seem to match.
