Other kinds of census Andre slags tællinger

Oeders efterretninger fra 1771 dækker København, Sjælland, Møn og Bornholm. Her kan man finde de talte mænds navn, stand, erhverv og ægtestand - og deres kones alder.

På landsarkiverne kan man også være heldig at finde forskellige mandtaller i købstædernes rådstuearkiver og måske også eksemplarer af den allerførste folketælling, der blev lavet i 1769. I Rigsarkivet findes bl.a. kopskattemandtaller 1660 - 1812, som tit kan give gode oplysninger.
