The first census in Denmark with genealogical information was taken during the summer of 1787. Unfortunately, this meant that most seamen and seasonal workers were away. The next census was taken in 1801, and then again in 1834. Beginning in 1840, a census was taken every five years until 1860. After 1860, the census was taken every ten years until the end of the century. Beginning in 1901, censuses were again taken every five years. | The first census in Denmark with genealogical information was taken during the summer of 1787.

'''List of Danish Census Records''' | |||
Censuses have been held in Denmark at various intervals. The first census of interest to the Genealogist was held in 1787, and thereafter in 1801, 1834, 1840, 1845, 1850, 1855, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890, 1901, 1911, 1916, 1921, 1925, 1930, 1940 and 1950.<br>The census of 1845 is of particular interest, since this was the first census to provide a very important detail for the people listed: “place of birth”. | |||
The Danish government has been working to index the Danish Census records. Accordingly, the Danish Census records have been digitized and made available online at [http://www.sa.dk/ao/SoegeSider/Folketaelling.aspx http://www.sa.dk/ao/SoegeSider/Folketaelling.aspx]. These images can be viewed page by page. An effort is being made to index all of these digitized census records. Although indexing has not been completed, many Danish censuses have been indexed. This index is available at [http://www.ddd.dda.dk/ddd_en.htm http://www.ddd.dda.dk/ddd_en.htm]. See "[[Denmark: Census#Online_Census_Strategy|Online Census Strategy]]" below for more tips on how to use these websites. | The Danish government has been working to index the Danish Census records.
