Recently one of our researchers delved into Danish records which had no parish registers. Not having birth, marriage and death records can bring quite a challenge when searching for ancestors. However, our diligent and brilliant researcher used wills, the census and other records to piece together families to the point where he was able to add EIGHT direct line ancestors. This is simply amazing and often happens with the excellent researchers we are blessed to have working for us!
Since it has recently been Christmas, I thought it would be fun to do the 12 days of Christmas genealogy style. This genealogy “song” refers to many of the records available, particularly through familysearch.org as well as referring to pricegen’s list of databases on our website. There are so many records available now for countries throughout the world as well as for the United States.
