-The Danish Archives has been indexing the Danish national censuses and placing them online.&nbsp;The Dansk Demografisk Database ([http://www.ddd.dda.dk/ http://www.ddd.dda.dk/]) contains Danish Census Records from 1787 and onwards as well as other features.&nbsp; The Danish State Archives are in the process of indexing the Census records, but the indexing is not complete for all years.&nbsp; This website is given in both Danish and English; however, it is important to note that the English version of the website does not yet have the same amount of results available that you will find in the Danish version. To access the English version, click on the British flag that appears in the upper right hand corner of the webpage.&nbsp;For more informaiton about the site see [[Danish_Demographic_Database|Danish Demographic Database]].

 If you search for an individual and get no returns, it may be you are using the wrong spelling for the name (you MUST use the Danish alphabet AND spell the name correctly) or the name may not have been indexed yet.&nbsp; You can use "wildcards" for your census searches to find multiple spellings. An underscore '_' subsitutes one charager, and a percent sign '%' substitutes multiple characters.&nbsp; Remember, that a lot is still to be transcribed, so check back later if you are not initially successful.
 If you are able to locate an ancestor in these census records, you will then know the place the ancestor lived, the age of the individual, and possibly family members.&nbsp; Please remember that people were listed on the census according to where they were working.&nbsp; An occupation is usually listed--children are specifically listed as children, and servants are specifically listed as servants.&nbsp; The censuses beginning in 1845 also list a birthplace.

 The Church records typically appear in a certain order.&nbsp; The birth records always appear first, followed by the confirmations.&nbsp; Next will come the marriages.&nbsp; Finally, the deaths and remaining records.&nbsp; There is no way to tell where a set of records (for example, confirmations) begins and ends.&nbsp; You merely need to open the image and find out.&nbsp; It is also extremely important to realize that often the men and women are listed in separate books.&nbsp; For example, if I were looking for the birth of a female in 1847, and I were looking at a set of records that extended from 1838 to 1855, I would find all the males born from 1838 to 1855 listed first--they would be in order according to birth date.&nbsp; Next, the females would be listed beginning with the females born in 1838 and moving forward according to the date.&nbsp; Thus it is logical to expect that the female born in 1847 would be several "opslags" down on the list.
