'''Naval Records [''Søruller''].''' Before 1802 these rolls were included with the army rolls, except for ''Fyn'', where they began in 1796. Port cities often have separate rolls. The rolls are divided into main rolls (active) and extra rolls (reserve). Information found in the main rolls includes the conscript's name, birthplace, age, height, marital status, number of children, residence, father's name, parish number, present and next serial entry number, date and number of seaman's certificate, occupation, ability to serve, reasons for not serving, remarks, transfers, and deaths. If the conscript was at sea, the rolls give the home port of ship, name of captain, expected date of return. | '''Naval Records [''Søruller''].'''
