1801 Denmark Census

943,680記錄

The 1801 census of Denmark was taken on 1 February 1801. The census covered just the kingdom of Denmark, and does not include the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. Information recorded in the census includes: name, residence, age, marital status, position in family, and occupation. For market towns (købstad), the census is organized by county (amt), town (købstad), and street (gade). For rural areas, the census is organized by county (amt), district (herred), and parish (sogn). For the municipalities (kommune) of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, the census is organized by municipality, and then street (gade). The user should also note that the geopolitical boundaries within Denmark have significantly changed since the 1880 census was taken. Between 1970 and 1974 the number of municipal governing regions (kommune) dropped from 1,098 to 275, and then down to 98 in 2007. This collection presents localities in the jurisdictions as they existed at the time of the census. Research tip: Individuals often had multiple given names. However, in the census you may find individuals only listed with one of their given names—usually the one the individual most often went by—or even listed by their nickname. If at first an individual cannot be found under a particular given name, trying searching for the individual under one of their other given names, or by all of them together. Also, until the early 20th century, women were usually listed with their maiden name. This collection is provided in partnership with the Danish National Archives (Rigsarkivet).
