This question has been split off from Reading religion column in 1906 Denmark Census image?

Can anyone assist me to finish off reading the details of this 1906 Danish census?

Per Kjeld Lassen 1906 Census, Denmark

The image is from FamilySearch who cite it as:

"Denmark Census, 1906," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QLXW-Y5BS : 19 October 2017), Peter Kjeld Lassen in entry for Johan Chr Julius Zahle Lassen, København, Danmark; from "1906 Denmark Census," database and images, MyHeritage ( https://www.myheritage.com : 2016), film 00040; citing Rigsarkivet, København, Danmark (National Archives, Copenhagen, Denmark).

The column headings I have from the FS Wiki - there are apparently 3 formats and this is the Copenhagen format, although the place (Hellerup) is just outside the city of Copenhagen so far as I can see from maps.

I am interested in the Lassen family and using the index and image, I believe the names are:

  • Johan Chr Julius Zahle-Lassen
  • Thora Vilhelmine "
  • Karen Margrethe "
  • Kaj Erik "
  • Per Kjeld "
  • Yelva Helversen

Re the place-names in col.8 (birthplaces) and col.9 (where the family lived previously)

I believe that Johan is born in Korsør (this is written in other trees and it seems to match this)

I know that Per is born in Hellerup.

I know that the family moved into the area in 1902 - that's what column 10 says.

Can anyone read the other birthplaces for the Lassen family in col. 8 and also the place where they moved here from (Col 9)?

One reflection, there are only 2 unknown place-names here - given that I have Johan and Per's birthplace (and I'm not tracking Yelva). Thora's birth-place (beginning with V) is unknown and the birth-places for Karen and Kai are the same, unknown name (beginning with K?). That latter place is the same as the place where they moved from (col. 9). I think.

  • Thanks. The 1901 that I found later had Thora in Valløby, so that's fine. It also had Karen and Kaj born in Kjøbenhavn and that I didn't understand because whatever the 1906 stated, it wasn't Kjøbenhavn. But now, from what you've told me, I can see that it's simply(?) an abbreviation for Kjøbenhavn. And yes, it's where they moved from as well.

    Yes, it's simply an abbreviation. Other common ones are Kbh, Kbhvn, Kjbhvn, Kjøb, Kjøbh, etc.
