==== Schleswig-Holstein | ==== Schleswig-Holstein==== | ||
By 1864, Denmark dominated Schleswig-Holstein, including Lübeck and parts of Hamburg and Oldenburg. Denmark led several censuses in this area. The first census was in 1769 followed by censuses in 1801, 1803, 1834, 1835, 1840, 1845, 1850, 1855 and 1860. The censuses are written in German or Danish written, and sometimes in both languages on the same page. The information content varies, according to the year in which the census took place. | |||
*'''1769'''. | *'''1769'''. The census results on the household and the number of people in the house - grouped by age and sex. Military personnel were not recorded, and the researchers will not find: property, assets and Gottorfer areas. | ||
*'''1801-1860 | *'''1801-1860''. Censuses from 1801 to 1860 included about each person name, address, position in the family, age, marital status and occupation. | ||
*'''1845''' | *'''1845''' and subsequent censuses. From 1845 every census contains the birthplace, the church in place of birth, residence at the place of census. | ||
It is often difficult to decide which village belongs to which census district. Some good sources to find the competent office, are the two volumes by Schröder and Biernatzki. "Topography of the Duchy of Schleswig" (1854) and "topography of the duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg" (1855) | |||
