Extraordinary hometown certificates were issued to people from Southern Jutland (then called Schleswigers) who had opted for Danish citizenship following the end of the Second Schleswig War in 1864. The applications have been kept in the collections of the Danish county offices.
The Danish public trustee records are a good supplement for the probate records.
The Danish public trustee managed inheritance for underage heirs. The function lay at the county office, so these records are found in collections from the county offices.
Married couples who wanted to be separated or divorced, first had to go to a meeting with a mediator from the county office.
The county authorities were probate administrators for residents at self-owned farms in Denmark until about 1793, so you can find probate records for self-owners in the county collections.
Record series with miscellaneous letters can be worth researching. Such a collection from Odense County Office holds correspondence about a soldier, who moved to another military levying district without reporting it to the military authorities.
Odense County Office left a record series called county passports, certificates, letters of guarantee, public announcements and lists.
Odense County Office has a collection containing original letters of apprenticeship.
The Danish county offices had a wide variety of tasks and the collections from the county offices contain many record series of value to family researchers. In this year's Advent calendar, I will show examples of 25 records from a Danish county office.

In Denmark, elections used to be held by a raise of hands. Two record books from a municipality show whom each person voted for at a local election in 1841.
Denmark played a significant role in the colonization of the Gold Coast and the West Indies. In this post I use Captain Rasmus Larsen as an example to show some of the records available from the colonies.
