Naturally a genealogist will wish to find out where particular farms their ancestors lived at are located. The 1833 | Naturally a genealogist will wish to find out where particular farms their ancestors lived at are located. The 1833 Cadastral registers are a good source. Formerly located at [http://www.watwaswaar.nl WatWasWaar], they should be placed online again sometime in 2016. WatWasWaar had a map that showed many names of local features and farms. In Overijssel and Friesland it was possible to click on individual plots of land on the map and see information about their owners in 1833. In all other areas you could see the original lists of landowners and maps showing the plots with a number system linking to landowners. The replacement site should have all these features. | ||
Another good method is to use Google Maps or an equivalent and search for the farm. The original farm may be listed, or there may be a road or feature named after it. | Another good method is to use Google Maps or an equivalent and search for the farm.
