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.

'''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].
