The [http://www.ddd.dda.dk/ Danish Demographic Database] was created by the Danish State Archives. It is designed to be an every name index for searching the [[Denmark Census|Danish censuses]]. It is not linked to the original census images, but the original census images can be viewed at [http://www.sa.dk/ao/SoegeSider/Folketaelling.aspx Census Archive]. The data input is accomplished primarily by committee efforts. Although the project has goals of accomplishing certain years first, a committee can focus their efforts on a specific locality. Some localities have the majority of national censuses complete, others are limited to the years of the project goals. | The [http://www.ddd.dda.dk/ Danish Demographic Database] was created by the Danish State Archives.
