Around 140k emigrated to USA in 1900-1930 (https://danishvoices.ku.dk/danish-in-north-america/ https://danishvoices.ku.dk/danish-in-north-america/)
Denmark’s population was 2.4m-3.5m in that period (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Denmark https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Denmark)
- mistrial9 1y agomy sources : "a History of the Lutheran Church in America", and a personal history written at that time. If your records are accurate and unbiased, I would accept that answer completely and admit it.. but I am not convinced both of those are true. It is interesting and more clarity is welcome. Also your estimate of the population varies by 40% so the accuracy is in question.
- strange_aeons 1y agoku.dk is Copenhagen University, which I would regard as accurate and unbiased. Wikipedia cites Danmarks Statistik for the population numbers, the official government statistics. The 2.4m is in 1900, 3.5m in 1930.
- tokai 1y agoThat's a horrible source. You really rather go with an old book about church history instead of official data?
