Population censuses, in the past also known as “people counts”, were carried out for the practical needs of the state administration, which required various data about its citizens. Each census had a specific form with particular headings that were filled out. | |||
Census records usually list the head of household, names of family members, age or date of birth, birth place, family relationships, occupations, residents and length of residence, and other such details. Censuses can be used to uniquely identify individuals and connect generations. | |||

The next population census was carried out in 1857. The census forms are called ''Anzeigezettel'' and are similarly written in German. The census method was the same as described above (by successive house numbers, first the city, then the suburbs). The columns are: successive number of residents in the context of a single family, names and surnames of residents, date of birth (year, month and day), religion, profession or relationship to the head of the family, status, and citizenship. Census returns are indexed by a card file compiled by the Zgorodvinsky Arhiv Ljubljana included with the census. | The next population census was carried out in 1857.

A new general census of Austria was taken in 1869 and does not too much differ in content from the previous one. The census forms, again called Anzeigezettel, were bi-lingual, written in German and Slovene. The headings included the following: successive number of person, name and surname, gender, year of birth, religion, status, profession, place of birth. An important element of this census is the place of birth. It also includes a typed surname index. | A new general census of Austria was taken in 1869 and does not too much differ in content from the previous one.

Following are samples from the population censuses in 1880, 1890, 1900, 1910, 1921, 1928 and 1931. Basically, the headings on the census forms did not change from the previous census. After 1880, when street names were introduced in Ljubljana and its suburbs, census forms were categorized in the alphabetical order of streets, and within that, successive house numbers. | Following are samples from the population censuses in 1880, 1890, 1900, 1910, 1921, 1928 and 1931.
