Searching Danish records - a case study - page 25

But there is a problem.

Anton's last name is Jensen according to the records that I had found previously:


Anton's last name was stated as Larsen which was his father's last name.

Also - there is no christening event listed on the right hand side of the page.


What was my take away of this record?

1. Since the 1850's, the Danish government was          promoting children taking the last name of 
    the father.

2. After further research I found that Anton's              father's last name was Jensen.

So what to do next?

Search the census records for Stenum, Borglum, Hjorring, Denmark.
