The first census in Denmark with genealogical information was taken during the summer of 1787. Unfortunately, this meant that most seamen and seasonal workers were away. The next census was taken in 1801, and then again in 1834. Beginning in 1840, a census was taken every five years until 1860. After 1860, the census was taken every ten years until the end of the century. Beginning in 1901, censuses were again taken every five years. | The first census in Denmark with genealogical information was taken during the summer of 1787.

These kommunal censuses were taken whenever they were needed, usually in the bigger cities. They had the same information as the national census plus extra information. It is always good to check if there is a kommunal census for the area you are researching, as they can help fill in gaps that national censuses miss.The following are some of the communal censuses available. | ||

The [https://www.kbharkiv.dk Copenhagen City Archive] has two collections available to help you find persons living in Copenhagen. From 1865 to 1923 the Copenhagen police department kept a list of all adult inhabitants. Thie collection is known as the ''Politiets Mandtall''. The lists were updated twice a year, in May and November. These lists are arranged by street address, year, and month. To locate the police district your ancestor lived in, see [[Copenhagen Street-Parish-Police District Index]]. You can learn more about this collection and search the index on the City Archive's page [https://www.kbharkiv.dk/sog-i-arkivet/kilder-pa-nettet/politiets-mandtaller-1865-1923 Politiets Mandtaller] | |||
Beginning in 1890 the police department also created a list of all persons in the city over the age of 10. You can learn more about this collection and search the index online at [https://www.kbharkiv.dk/sog-i-arkivet/kilder-pa-nettet/politiets-registerblade Politiets registerblade]. | |||
Both of these records were discontinued in 1923 with the beginning of the national population registry (''folkeregistret''). | |||
