[edit] Searching in Big Cities <br>Finding your ancestors' family in the census records of a large city can be time consuming. It is helpful to know the street address. Beginning in 1870, the census is arranged alphabetically by street for the large cities in Denmark. Sometimes you can find the street address in the church records at the time of a birth, marriage, or death in the family. Other sources for street address are business directories; civil certificates of birth, marriage, or death; probate records; or court records. | [edit] Searching in Big Cities <br>Finding your ancestors' family in the census records of a large city can be time consuming.
