*FamilySearch has put online all Netherlands church records with only very few exceptions(for example, some burials from Amsterdam). But the way the films are arranged can be confusing, so [http://zoekakten.nl/prov.php?id=ZH Zoekakten] was created to make it easier to find Netherlands records on FamilySearch. See the [[Zoekakten]] page on this wiki for further details on how to use Zoekakten.

===2. Online Digital Records at the Provincial Archives===
If the record is found, it will also contain details about the main person's parents, spouse and children. Some information may be blanked out in the case of people deceased relatively recently.

*Throughout the website church books are referred to as DTB books. There is no index for burials. However, you can browse the church books of that place (see step 4 in Research Guide below).

*The archives do not have the church books of these places: Delft, The Hague, Dordrecht, Gorinchem, Gouda, Leiden, Rotterdam, Schiedam, Vlaardingen and Voorburg. They are in regional/municipal archives.

===3.  Microfilmed Index of Parish Registers===
*The church records for most of the parishes in Zuid-Holland have been indexed by surname in 10 year increments - known as "family reconstruction". This family reconstruction, based on baptismal records from 1695-1815 (often includes the marriage date of the parents), refers to the so called "Gele Klappers" (yellow indices) of the baptisms (dopen).
*They contain information from 157 towns; they contain more than 1 million names. The cities of Brielle, Delft, Dordrecht, Gorinchem (Gorkum), Gouda, 's-Gravenhage (Den Haag or The Hague), Leyden, Maassluis, Rotterdam, Schiedam, and Vlaardingen (with their annexed municipalities) are not included in this index.  
*These records are available for research in the [http://www.denhaag.nl/home/bewoners/kunst-en-cultuur/haags-gemeentearchief.htm '''National Archive in Den Haag'''] and on microfilms in the [[Family History Library|'''Family History Library in Salt Lake City''']] and [[Family History Centers|'''Family History Centers''']] around the world.
*See: {{FHL|264512|title-id|disp=Zuid-Holland '''Klappers op de doop- en huwelijksregisters in Zuid-Holland van vóór 1812'''}} for the microfilm numbers. It is important that you remember which district number and name your town belongs to as you will need that information when you search for the right film.
===4.  [http://www.streekarchiefvpr.nl Regional Archive for Voorne-Putten and Rozenburg]===
*Two of the islands, Voorne-Putten and Rozenburg, located South-West of Rotterdam in Zuid-Holland, have a number of small municipalities. A [http://www.streekarchiefvpr.nl '''regional archive'''] has been set up to include ancestral information for the following cities, towns or villages: Bernisse, Brielle, Hellevoetsluis, Nieuw-Helvoet (now a part of Hellevoetsluis), Rozenburg, Spijkenisse and Westvoorne.
*It also includes a historical outline of the following townships Abbenbroek, Biert, Blankenburg, and the city of Brielle. Some of the historical data goes back to the 12th century.
