The Danish Demographic Database has a searchable index to persons in Danish censuses in 1787, 1834, and from 1840 to 1921 by Danish counties. Not all counties have been extracted for all years.
 
The Danish Demographic Database 
 
 
was created by the Danish State Archives. It is designed to be an every name index for searching the Danish censuses. It is not linked to images of the original census. The data input is accomplished primarily by committee efforts. Although the project has goals of accomplishing certain years first, a committee can focus their efforts on a specific locality. Some localities have the majority of national censuses complete, others are limited to the years of the project goals.
 
 
Although the census database does not include all parishes for every year of national census, the 1801, 1834, 1840,
 
 
and 1845 are complete for the entire kingdom. The next year to be complete for the entire kingdom is the 1880 census.
