There is a countrywide card index available at the Ministry of Justice at http://english.justitie.nl/ | There is a countrywide card index available at the Ministry of Justice at http://english.justitie.nl/ for those who died after 1890 and left a will. The index is arranged by birth year, so you need to know when your ancestor was born. A less detailed copy of the index is at the General State Archives, in ’s-Gravenhage. The archive’s copy was filmed by the FamilySearch Library on 1,100 rolls of film and contains information for those who died from 1890 to 1973. The index gives the name of the testator and spouse; the person’s birth date and place, occupation, and residence; the date of the will; and the name and residence of the notary public. | ||
