Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The website Allegroningers.nl offers many church records that help with Dutch research prior to 1811 in Groningen Province. For example, the Dutch Reformed Church's records for Hoogezand have a baptism and marriage book that begins in 1668. This record has been indexed and is searchable. For the city of Groningen marriage records are available beginning in 1595 and baptisms starting in 1640. The records for this time are very clear, they are written in Dutch, however, the handwriting is in the old gothic style. The early records are in column format and provide a 1-3 line entry for each event. The baptism records contain the birth date and typically where the parents were from. Marriage records are similar with including where the bride and groom are from. This website includes Dutch Reformed Church records as well as Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Walloon, Baptist, and Jewish records. These records are in Dutch except for the Roman Catholic records are in latin and the Jewish records are in Hebrew. All of these have records before 1811. |
