Passenger lists of emigrants (''udvanderer'') were not recorded until 1868, with the increase of emigrants. Emigration records were the responsibility of the police and were kept with the other [[Copenhagen: Police Census|police records]]. The police records contain information such as:<br> | |||
*name<br> | |||
*age<br> | |||
*Occupation<br> | |||
*destination<br> | |||
*relationships<br> | |||
*last residence<br> | |||
*birth place<br> | |||
The police records from 1869 - 1908 have been extraced and are available for free on [http://www.udvandrerarkivet.dk/forside/ http://www.emiarch.dk]<br>These records are also available at the Family History Library and at the different [[Copenhagen: Archives and Libraries|archives]] in Copenhagen.<br><br> | |||
In connection with the police records, there are also passport records. These records contain information about the emigrants, especially where they recieved the passport from. Unlike the police records, the passports run from 1788 to 1850. The records include information such as:<br> | |||
*date<br> | |||
*traveler's name<br> | |||
*Where the passport was issued<br> | |||
*Where going to<br> | |||
*How many people are traveling together: paying passengers, and non-paying passengers(such as children under 15, and the poor)<br> | |||
*How it was paid for (whether in silver or in notes)<br> | |||
*other remarks<br> | |||
The passport records are a good way to find emigration information proior to the official police records.<br> | |||
