D in the gender column
I'm indexing 1936 Danish census records. This one is very clear and easy to read. But in the gender column, two people, who by their names I might guess would be women, are listed as D, not M or K. I'm going to put BLANK in the indexed record, but wondered if anybody could give me more information about this.

Would it make sense if it was (D)itto ???
Don't know if that makes sense when the writer was Danish but when I try to translate "ditto" to Danish I just get "ditto".

Admittedly using D for ditto rather than a single letter M or K would not be a time saver...

no. The recorder has written solid M or K before and after these two gals and in places where he's wants a ditto he uses ditto marks.

Datter = Daughter?

"D" for Dame (meaning Lady), a higher civil status. My best guess.
