Danish Family Locations
Jutland peninsula, Denmark

Here I've tried to identify the locations of the farms or residences on which they were born or lived.  They did move around so they may listed more than one time.  Generally, north Jutland peninsula is built with sand dunes from the winds beating against the tides and currents of the Baltic and North Sea.  The currents have cut channels through the peninsula which were used historically for trade and transportation to the inland areas of Denmark.  Some ports such as Ribe were badly silted over the years and went out of favor as a major trade center.  We have fairly good records for the family residence here back to about 850 to the family of "Gorm the Old", King of Denmark. Good written records exist after the Catholic Church comes in about 950 a.d.  They were used primarily to reinforce the heritage of the royal families so records for peasants and slaves are missing and seen as insignificant.  Most of our relatives were in the later category and were some how able to scrape by but all the while residing on the peninsula.  My own DNA I1-L22 seems to be centered on this piece of land for hundreds if not thousands of years even though their names are lost forever in history.  Until only recently the various islands of Denmark were only accessible to one another and the peninsula by ferry or private ships.   There now are two major bridges which allow trucks and autos to cross from Jutland to Malmo, Sweden.
