Please remember that people were listed on the census according to where they were working. An occupation is usually listed--children are specifically listed as children, and servants are specifically listed as servants. | If you are able to locate an ancestor in these census records, you will then know the place the ancestor lived, the age of the individual, and possibly family members.

The second helpful website is called arkivalieronline.dk ([http://www.sa.dk/ao/ http://www.sa.dk/ao/]). This website does not have an English translation other than an overall English description found here ([http://www.sa.dk/ao/English/default.aspx http://www.sa.dk/ao/English/default.aspx]). At one time, it was required to register to use this website, but that is no longer necessary. This website accesses original scans of the census records and the church records. These are NOT indexed, so the only way to use them is to actually look through all the records. However, they are categorized by location and year. | The second helpful website is called arkivalieronline.dk ([http://www.sa.dk/ao/ http://www.sa.dk/ao/]).
