Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or coming into (immigrating) a country. Danish emigration records can be a useful source of genealogical information. They are usually found as passenger lists. The information in these records includes the emigrants' names, ages, occupations, and destinations and often the places of birth and last places of residence. | Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or coming into (immigrating) a country.

==== Community and Police Registers of Arrivals and Removals [Tyendeprotokoller, Melderegister] ==== | |||
Research use: Between 1875, when churches ceased to record arrivals and removals, and 1923 when National Registration was established, it can be very difficult to follow ancestors who moved from community to community during their young, unsettled years. These arrival/removal records make it possible to determine the place of origin of an ancestor in order to find the birth information and continue research into earlier generations; they are also helpful in following unwed mothers and their children. | |||
Record type: Local government registration of unsettled working class persons or domestics [tyendes] moving into or out of communities. These records were made to keep track of the young, generally unmarried, men and women who worked as domestic servants and farmhands until they settled down with a family in a community. In cities and town the local town bailiff [byfoged] recorded these arrivals and removals starting in 1854. In rural communities the parish bailiff [sognfoged] was responsible for recording farmhands after 1875. In the southern area of Jutland, formerly governed by Prussia from 1864 to 1920, a similar system of registration [Melderegister] was introduced in 1867. In 1923 the national government established the present system of National Registration. | |||
Time period: Cities 1854-1923, Rural communities 1875-1923, Prussian area 1867-1923. | |||
Contents: Names of servants, farmhands, and farm maidens; date of removal or arrival in the community, former residence, occupation, age; sometimes birth date, birthplace, etc. | |||
Location: In provincial and city archives and local police stations. | |||
