'''Genealogy in Noord-Holland''' | |||
There are no specific naming traditions that researchers need to take into account when doing research in Noord-Holland. Most families had fixed surnames centuries before the civil registration made that mandatory. Some regions did use patronymics in addition to the family name. | |||
Most genealogical records of the province are kept by the [http://www.noord-hollandsarchief.nl/ Noord-Hollands Archief]. The records of Amsterdam are kept by the [http://stadsarchief.amsterdam.nl/english/home.en.html Amsterdam Municipal Archives]. | |||
Many of the marriage records from Noord-Holland can be found in [https://www.wiewaswie.nl/en/home/ WieWasWie]. This does not include Amsterdam, which in itself accounts for about 10% of the total number of marriage records in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam marriage records are not available online and will not become available for at least another couple of years. | |||
'''Emigration from Noord-Holland''' | |||
Noord-Holland has always been one of the more prosperous parts of the Netherlands. Amsterdam especially has always drawn many immigrants. As a result, Noord-Holland wasn’t struck particularly hard by any of the major emigration waves.
