- This data was originally collected and recorded on punch cards in ICT's childhood. Therefore, there are some problems that must be attributed to the process of moving data to newer technology. Generally, Nordic alphabetic characters æ, ø and å have been difficult to handle, even in the case of uppercase and lowercase letters.
Early statistics packages, DDPP and SPSS, could not handle alphabetical variables in a good way, for these data there have therefore been some problems with names. In these restored versions, this has therefore been corrected as far as possible.

- Data is probably registered in several rounds, possibly connected from different registration operations. It is therefore difficult to understand the identification number. Data worked through and restored in 2019
