===Different Types of Lægdsruller=== | ===Different Types of Lægdsruller=== | ||
Lægdsvæsenet maintained several types of lægdsruller, namely the main rolls, entry rolls, and from 1871, rewritten rolls. | |||
'''Main Rollers''' | |||
The main rollers are records of all those with military obligations in a lægd in a given year. | |||
In 1861 it was decided that the entire roll keeping process should be revised. That meant effectively eliminating the former head rolls, so from that time forward there would only be entry rolls and rewritten rolls. | |||
Below is an overview of the use of head rolls: | |||
1789-1795* Head rolls (also called extra session rolls) were conducted annually. | |||
1795-1849 Main rolls were conducted every third year. In the intervening years only entry rolls were maintained. | |||
1849-1861 Main rolls were conducted every sixth year. In the intervening years only entry rolls were maintained. | |||
1861-1871 Transition Period. The main rolls should be compiled only once every 10 years, and these should not include the last five years. | |||
1871 The last main roll. | |||
* However, often only from the early 1790's. | |||
