Netherlands Cultural Groups: Difference between revisions

Many minorities, including Germans, Huguenots, Jews, Mennonites, and Scots, have settled in the Netherlands. It is important to learn the history of the ethnic, racial, and religious groups your ancestor belonged to. For example, you might study a history of the Jews in the Netherlands, Germans in the Netherlands, or Mennonites in Noord–Holland. This historical background can help you identify where your ancestors lived and when they lived there, where they migrated, the types of records they might be listed in, and other information that will help you understand your family’s history.
