I am far from an expert in this area having only one family line from Flensberg and Erkernforde but from what I know the area passed back and forth from Germany and Denmark. I do know that while looking for my Muller, Kohrt, Langemann and Wilhelmson family in the l840 - 1860 Flensberg and Eckernsforde censuses there were about 80% Danish names which helped to find my German Lutheran family members.
