Note: Until around 1900, all daughters (only) were given a patronymic last name, much like they do in Island, but while the Islandic tradition is to, still, give their child a patronymic of their mother's last name, they in, Denmark, were given that of their father's. Like, that Danish word for 'daughter' is 'datter', so if the father was named Peter Jens Nielsen for example, a daughter was not given 'Nielsen' as their last name, but 'Petersdatter (Petersdaughter)' instead. I've marked that next to the daughters in the game. All sons would be given 'Nielsen' as their last names though.

Also, wives kept their own last name until a certain point in time, but I'll note that and when that costume changes in future rounds. Same with the last names. Middle names weren't necessarily a thing, at the time this begins, so you can skip middle names if you so wish.

---

This will probably be seven or eight rounds in total, but it might be more if I decide on it. Or if I can handle it. I'll try to post a new round every day. Anyway, have fun! (I hope I've remembered everything I wanted to say and made no mistakes.)

ETA: Well, I did make a mistake. DD2 was supposed to be born in 1879, but I had initially marked her deceased in 1889, but decided to keep her 'alive'. But I mistakenly deleted the birth year instead of the supposed death year, so I have now corrected that error. Please be sure to note that for future rounds. *sighs* I knew there was something... *double sigh*
