“Parish registers and population censuses are
being digitized by The Danish State Archives
Filming Centre in order to make them accessible
via the Internet. The digitization project is
primarily scanning microfiches and microfilms.
There is no fixed timetable for the launch of each
parish register and population census on the
Internet, as this is a continuous process.
The parish registers and population censuses
will be displayed as pictures of the original records.
The pictures show that many records are
marked by poor storage conditions, poor ink
quality and general wear and tear—a state of
affairs that is irremediable. No registers have
been compiled in which to search for personal
names, occupations, addresses, etc.“
Church books (kirkebøger)—Images
“All Danish parish registers older than 1892
are included in the digitization project. The
end year may, however, differ for South Jutland
(North Schleswig) because the local parish registers
were kept according to different rules in
the period 1864-1920, when South Jutland was
under German administration.“
Census (folketællinger)—Images
The following population censuses are accessible via
the Internet: 1787, 1801, 1834, 1840, 1850, 1855, and
1860. The following population censuses will become
accessible in the future: 1845, 1880, 1890, and 1916.
Any other population censuses are not included in
this project. It should be noted that only population
censuses taken within the Kingdom of Denmark will
be made available at this site.
System Access
In order to be able to view the Church and Census
images your PC needs to be running at least Windows
