5. Find your lægt number, which is on the upper corner of each right page, listed in chronological order. In the Hovedrulle there are usually about 3-7 pages for each lægt or parish. Search all the pages in that lægt for your ancestor's name with his father or son. | |||
6. '''Reading the column headings:''' You will see two numbers to the left of your ancestor's. The first number is his listing number in this year's roll, and the second number is his listing number in the next main roll (Hovedrulle). In the third column will be the names of him and his father, if he is not a father himself. Next is listed his birthplace, then his age, height, and current residence in the parish, followed by any remarks which are usually pertaining to his military service. See the [https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Denmark:_Abbreviations_in_Army_Levying_Rolls abbreviations list] to translate these remarks. | |||
7. '''If you wish to follow him through to other years''' (either backward or forward in time), go back to the county list on the left sidebar, choose the next or previous year in the Hovedrulle, find the same lægt number again, and and look for his listing under the numbers that were by his name. To search in the previous roll, the first number by his name will now be in the second column by his name. To search in the following roll, the second number by his name will now be in the first column. <br> | |||
'''If he moved and changed parishes''', his name will be crossed off and there will be a note by his name indicating his new lægt number and listing number in that lægt. Alphabetical letters were assigned to each year, so you can tell whether to search for his listing in the roll of the same year or the next roll.<br> | '''If he moved and changed parishes''', his name will be crossed off and there will be a note by his name indicating his new lægt number and listing number in that lægt.
