Choose County, and then the district (if you know the district), followed by choosing the parish. Click on "search". Scroll down the list of hits to find your desired parish. The abbreviation FT stands for Folketælling (census). The FT is listed next to the year of census. This indicates what is in the database for the parish you need.

 

 

If you choose "Autocheck of database", you will be able to run a search using drop down menus for place identification. Choose the desired county, district (if you know it), and parish. Type in the persons name for example: Hans Nielsen and choose the year of census. Scroll through the hits searching for your Hans Nielsen by name and age. When you want to know more about a certain hit, click on "Show household". Search through the list for the household that includes your interested person by name and age. From here you can see who else is living in the household at the time of the census.
