 These records are extremely difficult to use and not intuitive. There certainly are some gems in them, but after 12 years of Danish research this author has been unable to figure them out on his own and has also been unable to find a published guide to explain what taxes were taken when or how to use them. If you have that information, please add it here.
-=== The 1660 Census of Peasants ===
-After losing Scania to Sweden, the Danish state was bankrupt. An emergency extra tax was levied that each rural person above the age of 12 was required to pay. The tax is mostly organized by the fief's that existed until 1662, but the fief's Dueholm, Vestervig, and Ørum are all just together as "Morsland" and the staff of Copenhagen University are in their own section. The tax is a valuable resource and often names each person paying the tax and states the relationship to the head of household, but in some places only tally marks are given to everyone besides the head of household. There is no pattern to what information is given at which places and the only way to know is to check. Records from some counties have been lost.
 === Extra Taxes (Ekstraskatmandtaler) ===
