Bill, it could also be Kirke & Barn/Børn, but Kirke & Borger sounds more reasonable.

Comment: "Thanks, Nanna. I think this is likely, since it indicates a civil function as well as the religious."

kirkebogsførende
Each parish has a kirkebogsførende minister (unless it is a 'præst' from a Catholic church who would be a priest).
The minister is -as the word says- responsible for entering all births and deaths occurring to and among the people living in the parish, be they baptized in Folkekirken or not.

kirkebogsfører/kirkebogsførende
Today, I contacted the parish office to ask for a qualified answer and here it goes:
"Der vil normalt stå sognepræst eller kordegn under en underskrift. Hvis der efter sognepræst står KB er det et meget kvalificeret bud at det står for kirkebogsførende ( i slang kaldes den kirkebogsførende for KBeren)"
