Name changes in Denmark

Ross Clement

I have been asked to give a presentation in our family reunion next month on dealing with Scandinavian name changes when doing research. Many of our ancestors came out of Denmark and a few from neighboring Scandinavian countries. I will find what I can on the Wiki website, but would appreciate the chance to talk with someone with expertise in Scandinavian research; particularly in dealing with names. Thanks for any help you can give.

Here is some links to the many learning center classes about Scandinavian and Denmark research

The above link is a way you can schedule a 20 minute consultation with experts from the Family History Library and they can possible help you!

Good luck in preparing this information. I removed your personal information from the initial request because this is a public site. you can add your name and phone in the request for the consultation.

Hopefully this will help.
