Soren Madsen m. Magdalene Hermansen in Oct 1855. On the marriage, looks like they lived at Knaebrostraede 134?? How do you search the Folketaelling for the 1860 census? I had help finding the 1870 census where it was located in Norregard. How do you know what kvarter they lived and what exactly is the matrikel? Obviously the numbers signify something but I don't want to trawl through 100s and 100s of docs if I don't need to. They would have had three children by 1860, Peter, Carl and possibly Otto (born 1860).
Apologies if I have already placed this in the forum :-[
Appreciate any help I can get.
Sue, Melbourne.
Hi Sue
Welcome to DIS-Forum :-)
Could you please write a bit more, making it easier to help you out....
The name of the town/place - "Norregard" could be many places in Denmark....is it the parish or a place?
Knaebrostrade....in Copenhagen?
Where do you have the information from? Is it om DDD? Or have you looked in AO?
You can search the census om http://www.ddd.dda.dk/soeg_person.asp (http://www.ddd.dda.dk/soeg_person.asp), but not all data is submitted yet.
Hi Sue,
Sure, they lived in Copenhagen, at Knabrostræde No. 134, when they married on October 12th 1855 (Arkivalieronline, Helligånds 1845-1858, opslag 141).
Assuming they are still in Copenhagen in 1860, you'll have to search the whole of the census on Arkivalieronline: Folketælling > 1860 > København! But start out with "Snarens kvarter", because Knabrostræde is there. However, in those days people moved around a lot.
But since they have had children during those years, it may be easier to go through the records of Helligaands parish, looking for baptisms - you may find the parents' address in that way.
In the 1870 census, you have found them in "Norregard", you write - do you mean the street Nørregade in Copenhagen? Nørregade is in the quarter "Nørre Kvarter" or "Udenbys Klædebo", and it is Vor Frue parish.
Good luck -
Asger
Hi Anette and Asger, thanks for the tips...sorry I didn't put enough info - am finding the Danish side of ancestors very challenging. The info I have got was from a very helpful person at Statens Arkivers. She found my rels in Folketaelling, 1870, Kobenhavn and in "Gade" picked Norregade which I assume is Norre Street?? She told me the census was done by street and not kvarter. However, when I go to the 1860 Folketaelling and put in 1860, Kobenhavn it wants the Kvarter and the Matrikel and I'm not sure how I should know what the Kvarter is. I guess from what you say, Asger, I need to go through the whole lot but will do as you suggest with the baptisms of the children.
It is slowly driving me insane... are you able to help?
Cheers!

She also helped me with my grandfather's baptism. She told me where to find it and I just can't find it anywhere even with her specific instructions. She said "Kobenhavn Amt - Sokkelund Herred - Vor Frue Sogn. Find the right book and page Vor Frue folio/page 107/108 og opslag 54 and he is there as boy number 229 for the year and on the bottom line is written Hellig G Kirke".

Thank you so much...I eventually found it! Anne, I have not heard of the name Sandorff but my tree finishes with Soren Madsen and Magdalene Hermansen. Really don't know how to go back any further on either side as Dane don't have the same surname as their parents. Soren and Magdalene's children were all born/baptised in Vor Frue, Sokkelund, Kobenhavn if that helps. Otto is as you have stated, Carl was born 25 Dec 1858, Peter was born 20 December 1856 and there were also two others, Anna and Hans. I didn't keep a copy of the opslag number :( so that is another lesson I've learned!
How would one ever know whether they had the right family when surnames are different?? On the 1870 census I have foujnd in the first column next to Soren's name is what looks like "Kjalderen". Am unsure what that means. For their birth place for Soren is something that looks like Yaderby?? and for Magdalene is Fredicia. Does that help?
Cheers!

Thank you so much for taking the time to assist me... I am slowly getting the hang of it. Unfortunately I don't understand Danish so am having to put everything through an online translator.
What is Maren please? I have also found, as you suggested, addresses from birth in 1858 was 251 Norregade and 1860 was 4 Norregade so hopefully I'm on the right track now. Does Matr.Nr. mean house number or something? If so it should be fairly easy to find No. 4 Norregade.
Thanks again, I would not be able to do this without the help from people like you.
Cheers!

Hi Sue
About the surnames - it's quite logical, you'll learn that in no time :-) It's called patronyms....
Let's pretend your fathers name is Lars. Then you would be Sue Larsdatter (datter=daughter) and your brother would be Mr. Larsen (in the beginning it was LarSØN - Søn= son)
Or
Just as an example......We have your Soren Madsen.....looking at the above you would now know his fathers first name was Mads. If Soren Madsen had a son his surname would be Sorensen.
So if you went looking for children of Soren Madsen you would just have to look in the Churchbooks for the firstname instead of the surname.
From way back and untill about the middle of the 1800s, the patronyms were used. Then it changes....first you will see the daughters getting the -sen ending indtead of the -datter endings on their surnames. And then just a bit later the name will stay with the family.
Kjælderen you mentioned means the cellar - so they might have lived in the cellar.
Yaderby I don't know, but the girl is probably born in Fredericia, a town in the eastern part of Jutland (Jylland)
And don't give up - there's lots of help to get in here :-)

By 1860 Soren Madsen was married (1855 to Magdalene Hermansen) and had at least two children....but the age would be about right and it's the address on the marriage! Wonder where the wife and children are? ???
This is 1850 and ugift means unmarried, so by 1850 he was still single.
You also now know he was born in Yderby parish, Holbech county :-)
:o sorry of course, I didn't read it! My word you are all wonderful!
Thanks.
