== Getting started with Fryslân or Friesland research  ==
'''''“That all Frisians would be fully free, the born and the unborn, so long as the wind blows from heaven and the child cries, grass grows green and flowers bloom, as far as the sun rises and the world stands.”'''''&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
From a 12th century law text

Researchers who need to search the Civil Registration records (records after 1811) in Friesland need to use the records of the appropriate municipalities.&nbsp;

<br> '''Emigration'''


Especially in the period between 1880 and 1920, many people left Friesland to find a new home in the United States. Many of them settled in Michigan, although quite a few ended up in other states such as New York or Wisconsin.
