Thank you so much! It must have been hard to lose one of their twins.
Would I be able to find burial information?

Yes, it is sad but she was also blessed. There would be no other source for this infant. I suspect that not being christened he wouldn't be buried in the church cemetery, also even more modern graves are reused unless the family pays for care (often not done). There would be no headstone.

How would I determine if the church was still there?

Do a Google search for Brønderslev Kirkgård.

The current Brønderslev church was erected in 1920-22. Sadly no English page can be found about neither the new or the old church, located in Brønderslev Sogn (parish), Børglum Herred (district), Hjørring Amt (county). This page in Danish is about Brønderslev old church from the 17th century: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%B8nderslev_Gamle_Kirke
On this page both churches are depicted: http://www.slaegtshistoriskforeningforbroenderslevegnen.dk/broenderslev/

Thank you! It is amazing that so many old churches still stand or have records available. I am amazed.

Carolyn, I can't see the whole thread of what you asked and what was answered. I have great grandparents from Bronderslev. You said you were amazed the churches have records available - I'm sure you are aware of Rigsarkivet, the Danish National Archives that have digital images of all the parish records that you can view for free? If you weren't aware, this is a link to the church records, then you go. https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/geo/geo-collection/5
For Bronderslev, the Amt you would drop down to Hjorring and the Arkiv you would drop down to Bronderslev. There is also a Oster Bronderslev (East Bronderslev), and the heading at the top of one of you screen shots said Vester Bronderslev (west), but Vester Bronderslev isn't an option on this link. However, I found the same page you posted under Bronderslev. Maybe that is all redundant, but I though I'd give in a try! That Romer name sounds familiar, I'm trying to find Romers I have run across before.

Thank you for sharing these links. It was several years ago that I found these documents. I should search further, because I now know the wife's sisters name and the name of her spouse. There may be more that I will be able to see. I am hoping to visit this area in less than a month!
I would love it if you could find other Romers in the area! Thank you for being willing to look. Sometimes, Romer is also spelled Roemer. After emigrating to the US, they typically used Romer.

Carolyn, If you could contact me at clyteegold@gmail.com it would be easier to communicate with you. I was able to visit the area in 2017 and it was so fantastic. I have some suggestions what to see and how to contact archives if you interested. And yes, I am sure the church is still there. Drop me an e-mail and I can give you some more info! Thanks, Clytee

I thought that I would share about my amazing trip to Bronderslev! I spent a day in Bronderslev and easily found the church, the cemetery and the church office buildings. Although I did not learn any new information during my quick visit, I was thrilled to be able to go inside this church that was built in 1100. The building has been well maintained.0 -
I am not sure why these photos of the inside of the church are sideways when I post them here, they are right side up on my computer. I loved the beautiful arched ceilings and the ornate pulpit area. It is amazing to walk where your ancestors have walked and to visit places that were significant in their lives.
