What is in This Collection?

This is an every-name index to the 1834 census of Denmark which was taken on 18 February 1834. This index was created by MyHeritage from images provided by the National Archives of Denmark. The National Archives of Denmark has cataloged this census with Rentekammeret, Danske Afdeling, Dansk-Norsk Tabelkontor (Treasury Department, Danish Division, Danish-Norwegian Statistical Office) as the responsible government office.
