Headings for Danish Census for 1925 and occupation of relative - translations
Hi, I have at last managed to find a cousin's family after they returned to the husband's home country of Denmark. They are in the 1925 Census -- parents Peder and Gertrude Osterlund with children, Paul and Nora (see 3/4 way down, likely same household as Peder's brother's family). Could I please ask someone to supply the translation for where they are living and Peder's occupation? I am very happy to at least find where they went to after Peder married an English girl (my cousin) in 1920 and they had 2 children in England. Thank you so much!

I do not speak or read Danish. Playing with google translate and using my basic knowledge of the records here is what I see for the columns. I paraphrased some info.
- The names of the towns or places including the farms, houses, etc.
- Family serial numbers "Family are also taken according to residence, but not students (?????). X is put in front of the last name of those temporarily absent [I do not understand the words inside the parenthesis.]
- All Persons Names. For children yet to be named, put "Boy" or "Girl." Persons temporarily present are not listed here, but on the back of the form. Each family is listed with its serial number and with spaces from the previous family. Surname All first names (in correct order: the commonly used first name is underlined)
- Gender Male (M) Female (K)
- Birth date [listed date/month]
- Birth year
- Birthplace Written: Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, or the name of the city or parish and the county. For those who were born outside Denmark proper, write e.g. The Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland or name of the relevant foreign country.
- Citizenship Persons who have Danish citizenship write "Denmark"; otherwise write the country where they have citizenship (Iceland, Sweden, Germany, United States, etc.)
- Marital Status Unmarried (U) Married (G) Widower or Widow (E) Separated (S) Divorced (F)
- Position in the Family Housefather, Housemother, Child, Relative, etc.; Housekeeper, Servant, Maid, Pensioner, Lodger Where a family is living with another family, separate them with the term "Included family". However, for the persons in the second family, it is indicated in the usual way: Housefather, Housemother, etc.
I did not see anything in the occupation column. Perhaps @Niels Just Rasmussen or someone else in the Nordic group (https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/137-nordic-countries-research can help with the relationship listed for Peder.

In the census 1925 Peder Østerlund is a "medhjælper" [farm hand] to his older brother Aksel Østerlund, who is a gaardeier [= gårdejer, a farm owner] and they are in Øster Starup Sogn, Brust Herred, Vejle Amt. [his brother farm is called Højgaard].
Peder Østerlund is born 29. March 1882 in Tørring Sogn, Vrads Herred, Skanderborg Amt ( Aksel, his older brother, is born the same place).

Maile, thank you for taking the time and effort to help with the headings translations. I appreciate it!
Niels, I am overjoyed to have the information you supplied, I had to take a break to work hard on a couple of garden shows my local association puts on every year but am now getting back to following up with the Osterlund family. You are so VERY kind to go to all the extra trouble to research Peder and Gertrude's descendants. I am on the trail! Thank you SO very much, again, for your invaluable assistance. Please let me know should I be able to assist you in any way in the future. Pam
