== Conscription Records == | |||
From 1813 to the early twentieth century a system of conscription was in place in the Netherlands. All young men had to have their details recorded in a register, and from there those who were to serve would be randomly selected. Sometimes the wealthy were able to avoid service through a payment. The records typically contain: | |||
* Name of the young man | |||
* His date and place of birth | |||
* His residence and occupation | |||
* His parents | |||
* Some information about his physical appearance. At the bare minimum his height was recorded. | |||
The main site for these records is [https://militieregisters.nl/ Militieregisters]. Some are also at [https://www.wiewaswie.nl/ WieWasWie] or [https://www.openarch.nl/ OpenArch] | |||
