ps my English is even worse than my German, but I hope you understand the explanations
Thank you for that - my German is non-existent! I can read Danish, mostly, through knowledge of Swedish, and when I could work out nothing of this record I wondered if it may have been in German.
Was this area of Denmark part of Germany at the time? Why was the record kept in German instead of Danish?
The southern part of Jutland = Sønderjylland got lost after the Danish-Prussian war 1864 with the rest of the duchies Schleswig and Holstein - we are 'celebrating' the 150'th anniversary this year; this is also the reason why the the prussian law concerning civil marriage was introduced 1874 (and births and burials also). You still find the civil records of birth and death (since 1925 not weddings) paralel to those of the church in Sønderjylland; Sønderjylland = the northern part of the duchy Schleswig returned to Denmark 1920 as a result of a plebiscite. Look them up http://wiki.dis-danmark.dk/index.php/Forside and the modern Danish name of the parish

Hi George,
