Census Records—Images<br />

Click on Søg i folketælling (Search in population census).<br />

Browsing the census records is actually a more<br />

accurate description. First, select the årgang (Year),<br />

then the Stedbetegnelse (Place Name), <strong>and</strong> finally<br />

the Gade (Street) <strong>and</strong> then Click “Hent oplysninger”<br />

(Download information). The viewer window will<br />

open with a list of pages. It becomes a bit of trial <strong>and</strong><br />

error at this point to find the desired page.<br />

1880 Census record<br />

In the 1880 Census there are three pages for each<br />

place. There is a summary page, then the Hovediste<br />

with the list of people <strong>and</strong> a Tillaegsliste (Supplementary<br />

list). The Hovediste page contains the place<br />

name (parish, town or farm), the <strong>Family</strong> enumeration<br />

number, the Person’s enumeration number, their<br />

full name, sex, age, marital status, creed, birth place,<br />

<strong>and</strong> status in the family. At the beginning of one of<br />

the 1845 census there is a place name index telling<br />

the range of pages for each town. Some useful terms<br />

are: Kvarter—Town quarter, Købstad—Town, Amt—<br />

County, Herred—District (formerly a judicial district),<br />

<strong>and</strong> Sogn/L<strong>and</strong>sogn—Parish/rural parish.<br />

Only the 1787, 1801, 1834, 1840, 1845, 1850, 1855, 1860,<br />

1880, 1890, 1906, <strong>and</strong> the 1916 censuses are available<br />

at the site. It does not include the 1870, 1901, 1921,<br />

<strong>and</strong> 1925 censuses. This is a work in progress <strong>and</strong><br />

all entries for the available years have not yet been<br />

entered.<br />

A search can be done for all years or for any single<br />

year but it can only be done for a single county at a<br />

time. The screen must be reset in order to choose<br />

another county. The advanced search says that you<br />

can select multiple counties, but it caused an error<br />

whenever I tried it.<br />

Click “Søgning efter personer” to search for a<br />

person.<br />

Enter Navn = Name (minimum 3 letters, blank<br />

separator, “_” replaces 1 char, “%” is wildcard), Amt<br />

(County) must be selected, “Alle aldre” = All ages.<br />

Køn: = Sex. Then Click “Søg” to search.<br />

Searching by name is a little different with this<br />

system. It gives the choice of “contains”, “=” (equals),<br />

<strong>and</strong> “starts with.” The default is “contains.” After<br />

entering a search for Neuhaus, it returned entries<br />

with Neuhaus as a middle name along with a number<br />

of entries for Neuhausen. I changed the search<br />

to equals Neuhaus <strong>and</strong> nothing was returned. I then<br />

noticed that this is not a surname search, but a full<br />

name search.<br />
