Beginning Danish research
Hello,
My great aunt Emilia Charlotte Åberg (birth record 8 May 1875 in Hamneda parish) emigrated from Sweden in Nov 1898 to Denmark and emigrated back to Sweden in 1935. How can I locate her in Danish records to learn about her years in Denmark? I tried looking at the Danish census records but the screen kept asking for a county which I don't know. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Do you know if she married and had children? Their names or birth locations?

Hi Beverly, when we talked, didn't you say she went to Copenhagen? If so then Copenhagen is the county.
What website are you searching? You can find the Danish census records on www.ddd.dda.dk, myheritage.com, DanishFamilySearch.com, and FamilySearch.org.

Here she is on the Police Censuses. She was briefly in Copenhagen at the beginning. https://www.kbharkiv.dk/sog-i-arkivet/sog-i-indtastede-kilder#/post/17-245608

The family story is that she married an American flyer who died in the war and is not known to have had children. I don't have any other information on her.

Hi Tanner,
Her Swedish emigration record had "Danmark" so her destination could be anywhere in Denmark. I did go to the ddd.dda.dk web site and did a couple of census queries before I realized I needed to understand what I was doing. She was raised in the Hinneryd parish but born in Hamneda so this entry is correct. I see that there is another record for her in 1903 as unsubscribed. Can I download the image? The English translation is also a little confusing: Person type is Protagonist which I assume means Emigrant, and I can't begin to understand her occupation as Public women. Right now I need to work on other lines and finalize my research plan before leaving for Salt Lake on Sat. I'll ask for you on Monday afternoon and you can help educate me on what I need to do next. This is a great start and I'll read the wiki.
Thanks!
Bev

You can download the image by right clicking and then hitting, "save as." It says she is an "Offentligt fruentimmer" which is a historic way of saying ****.

You just never know what you'll find with your ancestors, do you? Had a good laugh on that one. See you next Monday and we can try to find her in the others years she lived in Denmark. Bev
