'''Alphabetical Name Index'''- This index is organized first by year, then by Kreds, and then alphabetically by surname. In any given year you will need to search all 6 Kreds individually. The surnames are alphabetized by the first letter of the surname, but not alphabetized beyond that first letter, so the search takes 20-40 minutes per Kreds. When you find the correct person in the name index of one of the Kreds, it will list his or her address and birthplace. Using that address, look up their street in the Street Index, under the same year and Kreds.<br> | '''Alphabetical Name Index'''- This index is organized first by year, then by Kreds, and then alphabetically by surname.

'''The Police Census'''- Look for the printed (not handwritten) pages entitled ''Anmældelse til Politiet''. At the bottom of each of these pages is the census month and year, written in bold. Unlike most documents, the most recent year is at the beginning, and the earlier years follow afterward. There is a page with this title for each building’s resident list (whether single-family or multiple-family dwelling), which is hand-written on the succeeding page. After you have found the year you seek, find the street (alphabetically) and then the house number. You will find this information on the same pages entitled ''Anmældelse til Politiet'', in the upper left corner under “''Kobenhavns Politikreds''”. “Gade” is the Danish word for street, and “husnummer” is the house number. All even-numbered addresses are grouped together, followed by the odd-numbered addresses, as the enumerator canvassed the street, walking up one side, and down the other. <br> | '''The Police Census'''- Look for the printed (not handwritten) pages entitled ''Anmældelse til Politiet''.
