   ...With fifteen years experience in Danish records searching, including on-site research in Danish archives, churches, cemeteries and libraries, we are well acquainted with the patronymic naming patterns, language, Gothic handwriting, records and resources needed to construct your Danish Family History. Basic information needed to begin research includes a name, date of an event (birth, marriage, death) and the place in Denmark where the event occurred.

 ...We also provide a consultation service to evaluate previous or on-going Danish research and make suggestions for future work.

We strive to serve our clients in a timely manner. Clients receive a neat, documented research report summarizing the research, indicating what was found, or not found, and giving suggestions for further research. This report is accompanied by copies of all documents and research notes. We look forward to helping you with your genealogical inquiries.

...Foreign research can be intimidating. Our book, Beginning Danish Research, can get you started and teach you how to successfully find your way through the United States and Danish records. The book was written because there was no one source that gave a comprehensive overview of Danish records and how to use them.
