Because of the [[Scandinavia: Names|patronymic naming system]], it is generally not feasible to do an area search of Scandinavian census records, as might be done in U.S. research. You will find a whole lot of Lars Larsens who might fit the parameters to be your ancestor. However, it should also be said that if the ancestor had a very unusual patronymic or set surname, an area type of search could be successful if no other clues exist about where the person could be, but you just feel that they are in the area. Normally, though, you first have to know the parish people are living in at that census time period in order to find them. | Because of the [[Scandinavia: Names|patronymic naming system]], it is generally not feasible to do an area search of Scandinavian census records, as might be done in U.S. research.
