In the Netherlands, a census(''volkstelling'') is a count of the population at a certain point in time. [[Netherlands Population|'''Population registers(''Bevolkingregisters'')''']] record individuals over a period of time, usually 10 years. This article deals with censuses only. [[Netherlands Population|'''Population registers''']] are far more commonly used by genealogists. See [[Netherlands Population|'''Population Registers''']] for more information. Censuses in Dutch research may not be as helpful as censuses from other countries because better sources such as [[Netherlands Church Records|'''church records,''']] [[Netherlands Civil Registration|'''civil registration''']] and [[Netherlands Population|'''population registers''']] are available in the Netherlands. | In the Netherlands, a census(''volkstelling'') is a count of the population at a certain point in time.

Where available, census records can provide family relationships, ages, years of birth, marital statuses, religions, and places of birth. They can provide information where all or portions of other records are missing. Generally, you will find more complete family information in more recent censuses. Use the information with caution, however; it may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or a neighbor, and so some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified. | Where available, census records can provide family relationships, ages, years of birth, marital statuses, religions, and places of birth.
