Hi,
I appear to have found a record for one of my ancestors gaining Danish citizenship in 1801.
Record found at: http://www.ddd.dda.dk/immibas/immibas2.asp
Efternavn: Rahn Fornavn: Gotfried
Erhverv: Håndværksmester Fødeland: Tyskland
Amt, region: Uidentificeret
Lov af: 09 01 1801 Tillæg:
Løbenr: 119
Bemærkninger: Ukendt håndværk
Last name: Rahn First Name: Gotfried
Profession: craftsmen Country of birth: Germany
County, Region: unidentified
Law of: 09 01 1801 Appendix:
Serial: 119
Notes: Unknown craft
I don't know much about Danish Immigration records so I wanted to ask, is there likely to be more information than this listed somewhere? Any supporting documents or records from the time I might be able to see beyond this computer entry? If so, where should I be looking to find them?
Thanks.
The early citizenship records are online:

- according to the records, Snedkermester (master cabinetmaker/joiner) Gottfried Rahn was born in Danzig.
I cannot find his application for Danish citizenship in the records online.

Thanks Inger. I already have the records for Johan Gotfried Rahn in Vinderød, I was just hoping to confirm it is him in the immigration record and see if that could point me to his German roots. Danzig is an interesting mention as his son Johan Frederich Lorentz has a son born in 1815 in Danzig, so they might have headed back to their ancestral home.
