The Danish government has been working to index the Danish Census records. Accordingly, the Danish Census records have been digitized and made available at: [https://www.sa.dk/en/ The Danish National Archives]. These images can be viewed page by page. An effort is being made to index all of these digitized census records. Although indexing has not been completed, many Danish censuses have been indexed. This index is available at [http://www.ddd.dda.dk/kiplink_en.htm Danish Demographic Database] census search page. A description of the information available is found at [https://www.sa.dk/en/genealogy/records-registries Records and Registries].
