A census is a count of the population taken by a government primarily for demographic or taxation 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 ([[Sweden: Household Examination Records (Husförhörslängder)|''husförhörslängd'']]), the annual Mantals tax ([[Swedish Mantalslängd|mantalslängd]]), and the real estate tax on the farms (jordeböcker).

Rather than using the term "census" for your source citation in Swedish research, consider using the name of the Swedish record instead. This way others will know exactly what you looked at.
