<br>'''Using the Alphabetical Register'''- First, find the desired year, then note the film numbers for each of the six Kreds. Next, go to the films and find your ancestor's surname. The surnames are alphabetized by the first letter of the surname, but not alphabetized beyond that first letter, so the search takes 20-40 minutes per Kreds. When you find the correct person in the name index of one of the Kreds, it will list his or her street address and birthplace. Using that street address, you are now ready to use the Street Register as described above.<br> | <br>'''Using the Alphabetical Register'''- First, find the desired year, then note the film numbers for each of the six Kreds.

After you have obtained the correct film from the register(s), look for the printed (not handwritten) pages entitled ''Anmældelse til Politiet''. At the bottom of each of these pages is the census month and year, written in bold. Unlike most documents, the most recent year is at the beginning, and the earlier years follow afterward. | After you have obtained the correct film from the register(s), look for the printed (not handwritten) pages entitled ''Anmældelse til Politiet''.

After you have found the year you seek, find the street (alphabetically) and then the house number. You will find this information in the upper left corner under “''Kobenhavns Politikreds''”. “Gade” is the Danish word for street, and “husnummer” is the house number. | After you have found the year you seek, find the street (alphabetically) and then the house number.

On the page following each ''Anmeldelse til Politiet'', you will see a handwritten list of that buildings' residents (whether single-family or multiple-family dwelling). Note that all even-numbered addresses are grouped together, followed by the odd-numbered addresses, as the enumerator canvassed the street, walking up one side, and down the other. Residents are listed on the left side of the page, servants in the middle, and lodgers on the right side. Be sure to check all three parts if you don't know in which category the individual or family was located.<br> | On the page following each ''Anmeldelse til Politiet'', you will see a handwritten list of that buildings' residents (whether single-family or multiple-family dwelling).
