I just located ancestors who are from this parish -- Simon Ivesen born 1733, Medtte Jacobsdatter born 1738, Iver Simonsen born 1692 -- all of Vind parish. Is this parish still in existence? Where would I find a photo? Checked the Internet but haven't seen anything.

I looked up the family in the census (below) to help me picture where they are - in Røjkjær in Vind sogn, Ulfborg herred, Ringkøbing amt.

The church in Vind sogn (Vind parish) was apparently built in 1200 and is pictured here:

Google translate can help if needed.

Maybe you're familiar with this map posted at ddd.dda.dk, showing the amts of Denmark:

And a map showing the herreds within Ringkøbing amt:

And an email address for the priest at Vind is posted on the home page of the above website.

Parishes used to serve a civil as well as religious function. Births, marriages, deaths, were recorded in the churchbook etc. Danish government is reorganized and so I suppose perhaps it could be said the parish does not exist in the way it did in the time of Simon Iversen.

Of course the area encompassed within the parish is still there.

Is this answering your question? I'm no expert and maybe you were looking for a more technical answer re. church governance or civil governance?

It's unlikely any graves from this era for your family remain at Vind Kirkegård. In Denmark graves are typically reused after a period of some decades.

Map to Vind church in Vind parish, Ringkøbing (south of Holstebro). Take the road Røjkjærvej north from the church to come to Røjkjær,

Photo that shows the church at the intersection of Vind Kirkevej and Røjkjærvej: http://www.findvej.dk/56.261709,8.545772?pov=329.23,5.37,0&a...

Looks like there's a Nørre Røjkjær (North Røjkjær), Vester Røjkjær (West Røjkjær) and a Røjkjærgaard (Røjkjær farm).
