===Schleswig-Holstein=== | |||
Denmark ruled all of Schleswig-Holstein, including Lübeck and parts of Hamburg and Oldenburg, until 1864. Denmark took several censuses of this area. The first census was made in 1769, and subsequent censuses were taken in 1801, 1803, 1834, 1835, 1840, 1845, 1850, 1855, and 1860. The censuses are written in either German or Danish, sometimes with both on the same page. The information contained in the censuses varies according to which year it was taken: | |||
*'''1769'''. This census names the head of each household and the number of people in the house, grouped by age and sex. It did not take military personnel into account, neither will the researcher find information from estates, monestaries and the Gottorfer areas. | |||
*'''1801-1860'''. Censuses taken from 1801 to 1860 list each person's name, residence, position in the family, age, marital status, and occupation. | |||
*'''1845''' and later censuses. From 1845 on, each census also lists birthplace, the parish of the birthplace, and the length of residency at the census place. | |||

It is often difficult to determine which village belongs to what census district. A good source to find jurisdictions are the two volumes v. Schröder and Biernatzki published: "Topographie des Herzogthums Schleswig" (1854) and "Topographie der Herzogthümer Holstein und Lauenburg" (1855) | It is often difficult to determine which village belongs to what census district.
