1870 Denmark Census

1,795,987 sissekannet

The 1870 census of Denmark was taken on February 1, 1870. Information recorded in the census includes: name, residence, gender, age, birthplace, marital status, position in family, and religious affiliation. Individuals who were temporary residents of a locality were noted, and individuals who were absent from their usual home were enumerated on a separate form. In addition to the information listed above, this additional form asked for information regarding the individual’s present residence, and how long they had been absent. For market towns (købstad), the census is organized by county (amt), town (købstad), and street (gade). For rural areas, the census is organized by county (amt), district (herred), and parish (sogn). For the municipalities (kommune) of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, the census is organized by municipality, and then street (gade). The user should also note that the geopolitical boundaries within Denmark have significantly changed since the 1870 census was taken. Between 1970 and 1974 the number of municipal governing regions (kommune) dropped from 1,098 to 275, and then down to 98 in 2007. This collection presents localities in the jurisdictions as they existed at the time of the census. Research tip: Individuals often had multiple given names. However, in the census you may find individuals only listed with one of their given names—usually the one the individual most often went by—or even listed by their nickname. If at first an individual cannot be found under a particular given name, try searching for the individual under one of their other given names, or by all of them together. This collection is provided in partnership with the Danish National Archives (Rigsarkivet).
