 Danish emigration first began in 1619 when reverend Rasmus Jensen sailed to America. However, until the 1850's it always occurred in very low numbers. From about 1820-1850 about 60 Danes emigrated to America every year. Others went to destinations such as the United States, Canada, Australia, Latin America, and the islands of the South Pacific. Most early emigrants settled in the United States in the Midwest and the prairie provinces of Canada. In the 1850s, large numbers of Danish converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints immigrated to the United States, and many settled in Utah. Emigration from Denmark gradually increased in the 1870s, peaking in the early 1880s.
+===Poles and Swedes===
+In areas with many foreign workers, you will be lucky to find special registration of foreigners. For example, in Lolland and Bornholm, there were many seasonal workers from Poland and Sweden. In most other areas, however, there are not specific registration protocols for immigrants. If you need to find Swedes, there is good resource available in the book titled ''Above the Sound'', which can be purchased at the Provincial Archives for 125 kroner.
+After 1914, the State Police in Copenhagen issued the residence books to immigrants. To find something in this archive - which can be found at the National Archives - you have to know the migrant foreigners' number, or use the name directory.
 ==Immigration==
-*See [[Immigration to Denmark]] for more information.
+*''19th Century (Industrial Revolution):'' Immigration of workers (primarily German and Swedish) for large construction projects (railroads, dikes, Copenhagen fortification). Simultaneous mass emigration from Denmark to non-European nations.
+*''Early 20th Century:'' Continued emigration, though likely impacted by the World Wars. Influx of refugees (Russian after 1917 Revolution, German 1933-1940, Hungarian after 1956 Revolution).
+*''1960s - Early 1970s:'' Increased immigration due to economic growth and labor demand. "Guest worker" programs brought many immigrants from Turkey, Yugoslavia, and Pakistan.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Immigration to Denmark," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Denmark, accessed 3 Feb 2025.</ref>
+'''Indvandrere''' <br>
+Before 1776 there were almost no immigration controls in Denmark. An exception was the Jews who, among others, had to pay a fee. To find applications for immigration permission, see the Danish Chancellery of the National Archives. Search immigrants online at [http://ddd.dda.dk/ Danish Demographic Database].
+'''Immigrants in Copenhagen''' <br>
+There is very little material about immigrants in Copenhagen. See the Registry [https://dis-danmark.dk/bibliotek/905046.pdf Copenhagen police and judicial authorities].

+*''Incoming foreigners'': Page 126 and 159 Covers the years 1860-63, respectively. 1863-69.
+*''Market traveler et al.'' Page 181. Covers the years 1911-47.

 ==Emigration==
+In the 19th century, many Danes emigrated to the United States, Canada, and Australia, driven by economic hardship. This trend continued into the early 20th century, although it slowed somewhat during WWI and WWII.
+In the latter half of the 20th century, emigration from Denmark decreased significantly, and the country began to experience net immigration. This was due in part to Denmark's strong economy and welfare state, which attracted immigrants from other countries.
