We got to the the Fyn Island archives, and found the death records of Janis's uncle, who was born and died (6 mos. old) in Denmark; which was actually an opportunity to find records for other family members who we believed were buried in Svendborg. It was later in the afternoon when we got that information, and decided to drive down there and see if we could locate anything. It was about 3:00 pm when we arrived at the cemetery, and the only person we could find was the guy who did the cremations. He suggested we come back the next morning when someone would be there to help us. We have learned that things start closing down around 3:00 pm in Government offices here. So we went into the main part of town, walked around and had dinner. Nice, smaller town. Our experience is, that like all countries, generally, the smaller the town, the more orderly and neat it is.
