Copenhagen: Finding a Place of Residence

Probably the most important piece of information needed in order to research a family or individual in Copenhagen is where exactly the family lived. Knowing the street address determines what record juridictions the family/individual can be found in, saving time and energy.

Records

The first step in finding your family in Copenhagen, is understanding what records will tell you where they were living. The best records for finding an address in Copenhagen are:

1. Census Records: Censuses are some of the best records for finding an address. Most of Copenhagen is indexed online at Dansk Demografisk Database
