Hello,

I'm going to Germany for the weekend and will be leaving in 15 min., so I can only give a brief answer. I think they lived in the very populated area of Copenhagen called Nørrebro, where there are several churches. Perhaps they moved a few blocks, or there may have been some sort of connection between the churches. In the rural areas some priests were in charge of 2-3-4 churches, so the priest did for example confirmations in one church one year, another the next et cetera.

It also happened that a service was held in a neighborign parish, due to illness, repair works and the like.

Try this link

www.folkekirken.dk

for more info on the Danish churches (In Danish mostly)

Look under Sogne (Parishes) and then the churchs name. Not all of them have web-sites.

Got to go.

Martin
