→Kommunal Censuses
| Line 149: | Line 149: | ||
Through the years, there have been a few special censuses taken at the [[Danish Kommune|kommune]] (city or parish) level in certain areas throughout Denmark. These kommunal censuses were taken whenever they were needed, usually in the bigger cities. They had the same information as the national census plus extra information. It is always good to check if there is a kommunal census for the area you are researching, as they can help fill in gaps that national censuses miss.The following are some of the communal censuses available. | Through the years, there have been a few special censuses taken at the [[Danish Kommune|kommune]] (city or parish) level in certain areas throughout Denmark.

The [https://www.kbharkiv.dk Copenhagen City Archive] has two collections available to help you find persons living in Copenhagen. From 1865 to 1923 the Copenhagen police department kept a list of all adult inhabitants. Thie collection is known as the ''Politiets Mandtall''. The lists were updated twice a year, in May and November. These lists are arranged by street address, year, and month. To locate the police district your ancestor lived in, see [[Copenhagen Street-Parish-Police District Index]]. You can learn more about this collection and search the index on the City Archive's page [https://www.kbharkiv.dk/sog-i-arkivet/kilder-pa-nettet/politiets-mandtaller-1865-1923 Politiets Mandtaller] | |||
Beginning in 1890 the police department also created a list of all persons in the city over the age of 10. You can learn more about this collection and search the index online at [https://www.kbharkiv.dk/sog-i-arkivet/kilder-pa-nettet/politiets-registerblade Politiets registerblade]. | |||
Both of these records were discontinued in 1923 with the beginning of the national population registry (''folkeregistret''). | |||
