The police censuses are similar to other censuses in Denmark. The only difference is that it is particular to Copenhagen, and there are absolutely no children under the age of ten on the census. Some of the most typically information listed in the censuses include:<br> | |||
-the floor living on<br> | |||
-Full name<br> | |||
-age<br> | |||
-birth place<br> | |||
-Rank, status, and occupation<br> | |||
-Servants<br> | |||
-Length of time in residence by half year<br> | |||
-When began service<br> | |||
-Where last served<br> | |||
-Lodgers<br> | |||
The later censuses include a little more information including birth date.<br> | |||
== Tips == | |||
An index exists for the census records and can be a real help in locating individuals. Each year has an index that is divided into ''Kreds'', or police districts. All names are alphabetized and then listed under the street names. Once the street is located, the corret census can be pulled up.<br> | |||
The actual censuses are organized by ''Kreds'' first, then street, then house number, and finally by resident. Residents are listed on the left side of the page, servants in the middle, and lodgers on the right side. Be sure not to forget to check all three parts if you don't know what the individual or family was.<br> | |||
