→Records for Family History
The original records for Tranquebar are housed in archives in Denmark. In addition, some details are held in a card index compiled by Kay Larsen – which up to at least the early 1980s was housed in the Rigsarkivet in Copenhagen.
This index can now be found on www.pkv.dk/dop - unfortunately it is in danish ;-)
