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.

The Danish government has been working to index the Danish Census records. Accordingly, the Danish Census records have been digitized and made available online at [http://www.sa.dk/ao/SoegeSider/Folketaelling.aspx http://www.sa.dk/ao/SoegeSider/Folketaelling.aspx]. 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/ddd_en.htm http://www.ddd.dda.dk/ddd_en.htm]. See "Online Census Strategy" below for more tips on how to use these websites. | |||
The most recent Danish census at the Family History Library is for 1911. Census records less than sixty-five years old are confidential and may not be searched by individuals. The most recent census which has been released is the 1916 census. It can be found online at [http://www.arkivalieronline.dk/English/default.aspx http://www.arkivalieronline.dk/English/default.aspx]. The government will make limited searches in the 1920 and 1925 censuses. | The most recent Danish census at the Family History Library is for 1911.

Through the years, there have been a few special censuses taken at the [[Danish Kommune|kommune]] level in certain areas throughout Denmark. 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 (example: ). 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 (italicized if available at the Family History Library):<br> | Through the years, there have been a few special censuses taken at the [[Danish Kommune|kommune]] level in certain areas throughout Denmark.
