Denmark Census Strategy

Searching Census Records. When searching the census records of Denmark, it is important to remember the following:

   * Accept the ages with caution.
   * Women are usually listed by their maiden surnames.
   * Given names may not always be spelled exactly the same or be as complete as those recorded in vital records.
   * Information may be incorrect.
   * Spelling for names and places varies. 

Search the surrounding area if you do not find a family at the expected address.

When you find your family in one census, be sure to search that same location in the earlier and later census records for additional family members.
