Danish Census Project

Lars starts:-
As well as doing my own family history, I am also taking part in this major project of transcribing all Danish census from 1787 to 1916.

In my opinion this project is very important for all genealogists. When the resources have been entered into a computer, you get brand new search possibilities.
Therefore the time you use on transcription is well spent and it is a good way for to practice reading old Danish gotisk handwritng.

To date the census records of more than 6 millioner persons have been transcribed; but there are still a lot left to do. Therefore everybody interested should participate. It is easy to join.

Get the program WinKip which is a paradox database template.

Then take a look at the county maps here Kildeindtastninger

You can see, what has already been done, and what is still missing.
Then make contact with DDA. Here you can reserve a parish, so that no one else will start on the same job. Hvordan bliver jeg ?

1801 1840 and 1860 are available as images on the Internet or if you have a fiche or microfilm reader you may work from that and you will be loaned the material you need.

Then you send your completed transcription to Dansk Data Arkiv, and it will be on the Internet about 2 months later . "
