Indexes are very helpful in identifying families in the census. Occasionally, names and places will be indexed incorrectly. It is always best to find and examine the original census image. This website has been designed to list small places in Schleswig-Holstein (1871-1918) and to provide quick and easy access to the original census data for each place.
Several indexing projects for Danish Census records are in progress. None are complete at this time. They include:
Arbeitskreis Volkszahl-Register at this site: AKVZ.de Click on "Datenbank" or "Register"
Dansk Demografisk Database [DDD] available at this link. To see the progress of this project click on this link. Clicking on a particular colored space in this table will bring up a map of the county showing all the parishes within that particular county. For another format see ddd.salldata.dk.
AGGSH has some indexes available at this site: AGGSH. The census lists indexed by this organization are sent to DDD listed above.
Danish Family Search provides some indexes for Schleswig-Holstein: See Danish Family Search and choose "Slesvig-Holsten"
FamilySearch.org has census indexes for places that were included in Denmark (1834 to 1930) Link to Danish Census Collections
