Census Austria?
« on: Friday 18 August 17 14:11 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

Were there census' taken in Austria in the 1800s like they were in the UK?

I've had a look about (Google) but can't see anything about any census'.

Thanks in advance.

Neil.

There are are some records. They won't be indexed/easily searchable in the same way, unfortunately.
