Germany, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Census, 1867
Census records of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany for 1867. Towns are arranged under their enumeration district.

The 1867 Census contains three separate forms: the Bevölkerungstabelle, the Zählungsliste and the Nachtragsliste.

What is in This Collection?
This collection of index Images of census records created by the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1867. Mecklenburg censuses were conducted intermittently from 1636 to 1939. A census of citizens of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin was collected as of 2/3 December 1867.

The following information was recorded about each person: first and last name, gender, year of birth, religious affiliation, marital status, occupation or social standing, citizenship, the reason why visitors were in the census area, and distinguishing physical characteristics. Based on the 1867 census, the population of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin was determined to be 560,668. Of those, 193,882 people lived in the cities.
