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.

    @Ross Clement

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

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/learning-center-search/?q=Scandinavian+names

    https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/location/1927025?region=Denmark


    https://www.familysearch.org/blog/en/online-genealogy-consultations/


    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.
