A census is a count of the population taken by a government primarily for taxation or military purposes. No regular census records (in direct comparison to the U.S. Censuses) are found in Sweden. Population registration was done through the household examination records (''husförhörslängd''), the annual Mantals tax (mantalslängd), and the real estate tax on the farms (jordeböcker). | |||
