German Census Records | German Census Records | ||
National census records were established at different times by different countries. A national census in Germany was not taken until the late 1800’s. Local censuses began as early as 1500’s, though most do not appear until the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. Some were taken on a kingdom, province or duchy level; however most were taken on a city or district level. By the middle of the 19th Century the self-registration, household lists began and was in 1867 introduced in the provinces of Prussia. | National census records were established at different times by different countries.
