The Gylling Site

Gary T. Horlacher

Gylling Parish is in Århus County and before 1794 was in Åkær County. The records of Åkær County are often grouped together with Skanderborg County. Gylling parish is for the most part a peninsula between Kattegat and Horsen's fjord. It borders with Falling and Gosmer parishes.

Church Records Begin: 1721
Place names: Gylling, Lerdrup, Sæby (part in Gylling and part in Gosmer Parish)
Estates: Åkær
Progress Summary: The court records have not been extracted. The records prior to 1660 have not been completed yet. There were no copyhold records from the Åkær Estate, however there may be some substitute records from tax records. The probate records were extracted from 1676-1785 for people from these three villages. The earlier lists have yet to be done. Also a composite genealogy of each of the early families has not been done, but could be done based on the early church records, probate records, and the combined list.
