my 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.

ku.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.

That's a horrible source. You really rather go with an old book about church history instead of official data?
