Aufnahmsbogen 1830-1847
Aufnahmsbogen is the oldest preserved census in the Historical Archive Ljubljana. It is available on microfilms through the Family History Library. This census covers people who then lived within the area of the 17th consription district and comprises the City of Ljubljana (capitol of Slovenia, formerly Laibach in the Krain province of the Austrian Empire) and its suburbs: Gradišče [Gradischa], Kapucinsko [Kapuzina], Karlovsko [Karlstädt], Karolinsko [Karolinengrund], Krakovsko [Krakau], Kurjavas [Hühnerdorf], Poljansko [Pollana], Sv. Petr [Sct. Peters], Trnovsko [Tirnau]. Note: German place names in parentheses.

The headings of the census forms are written in German. One census form was completed for each individual family. The first five columns contain personal data about householders or family members of specific families. The rest of the form is for military purposes and it contains so called eligibility ledgers.

The census forms were filled out in succession by house numbers, first of the City of Ljubljana, followed by the census forms of houses in the Ljubljana suburbs. The first five columns are of most relevance: house number, name of the owner of the house, name of the resident (including relationship to the head of the household), year of birth(occasionally also day and month) and profession.
