Norwegians in Denmark

[Matthew Bagley]

I am trying to find the origins or birth record for my ancestor Katrine Hedevig Berntzen.  She was born around 1777, and shows up in the 1801 census in Halsted, Lolland, where she later married, had five children and died in 1815.  Her marriage record refers to her as "jomfru."  The records always identify her as Berntzen, never Berntzdatter.  To me, that name seems more Norwegian than Danish, I don't recall coming across that name before in my research of Danish records.  Was there much movement between Norway and Denmark in the late 1700s?  Are there are any sources that would identify Norwegians coming to Denmark during that time to settle down?

Hi,

I cannot give you an exact answer, but some hints:

The reference "Jomfru" hints to a higher status i society in relation to "pige" for the unmarried daughter of ordinary folks.

In the 18^th century the Danish kings was kings of both Norway and Denmark, so there was some exchange of people between the two parts of the kingdom.

Hop this helps a bit

Thank you Aksel, Bente and Lisa!

[Matthew Bagley]

Bente, that birth record is very interesting, I would not have thought to have looked in that direction.  And thank you very much!  Do you know where I can view an image of the original birth record?
