comparison

of my new Sony Ericsson cell phone and my five years old handicam
This is an introductary page in the old catalogue of FOARK
(Ministry of Defence) in the Danish national Archives

about the popular tourist location in Copenhagen Denmark
pictures on google


Søfortet Trekroner

good old handicam
and the lower case letter "o" is 10 pixels wide

new cell phone camera
and the lower case letter "o" is 16 pixels wide

so maybe I don't need to take the handicam to the archives anymore

KU LOB


København Universitet (Copenhagen University) Logo On a Bed sheet

you can see the same branding on the header of this web page
http://www.ku.dk/

you can see a little of the great seal in this header
http://www1.hum.ku.dk/

I will look in http://www.archive.org/web/web.php
at http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.ku.dk
no luck
but http://images.google.com/images?q=site%3Aku.dk+segl&hl=en&btnG=Search+Images

http://www.ku.dk/universitetshistorie/generel/universitetets%20segl.htm

has the image the giffers of FOTW need
but does that mean there are six versions of this flag?

now I will post this and contribute to the Flags of the World Mailing List i- the official Mailing List of the Flags of the World web site (main mirror: http://fotw.net/).

Note: The pages of the Flags of the World web site are compiled from contributions to this mailing list, but that the process is in no way automatic and many times not particularly swift.

Borum, Kirstine b: 27 APR 1925 in Sorø, Alsted, Sorø, Denmark d: 17 OCT 1988 in København, Denmark

left in detail
father is Borum, Allan Eugen b: 19 SEP 1885 d: 1935
mother is Møller, Kirstine b: 7 AUG 1895 in Sorø but not found i kirkebøg so far
possibly that it is her married name from a previous marriage . . .

right in detail
unusual a late baptism at home


at the start of the volume of Copenhagen divorces - register index G for GOTTLIEB see case number 184

Copenhagen arms and some flags

When I use my handicam in the archives the results go in for example
http://karl-dane.blogspot.com/

on the way out of the city hall this coat of arms in the enquiry office by main door caught my eye

what are these yellow or blue flags with the Dannebrog quartered?
see Flags of the World but unknown

INSIGNIA REGIA CIVITATIS UBERA HAFNIENSIS
Hafnia is latin for Copenhagen well Kjøbenavn or Köbenhafn to mention a couple of the early spellings


a square Dannebrog suggest an early date if authentic
