Civil death records often exist for individuals for whom there are no birth or marriage records. Deaths were usually registered within three days of the death in the municipality where the person died. If the deceased person was not a resident of that town, often a copy would be sent to that person's residence. | ||

Access to Netherlands Civil Registration records online is excellent. There is no need to use microfilms or to visit archives. Nearly all records have survived, since two copies were made of each record and stored separately. The losses that have occurred are mostly Marriage Supplements, since they were not duplicated. | Access to Netherlands Civil Registration records online is excellent.

Many municipalities have been absorbed or merged. Often the quickest way to find which municipality a place lies within today is to find the place on (Dutch) Wikipedia. A more formal resource is the [https://dans.knaw.nl/nl/over/organisatie-beleid/publicaties/DANSrepertoriumnederlandsegemeenten2011.pdf Repertorium van Nederlandse Gemeenten vanaf 1812 (Overview of Dutch municipalities since 1812)], which dates from 2011 (dozens of municipalities have been merged since then) and is a Gazetteer that shows changes in municipalities over the years, including merges. Skip over the introductory material to where the actual listings begin on page 52. The first line gives the existence dates. '''"Afgesplitst"''' means "split off of," '''"toegevoegd"''' means "added," '''"opgegaan in"''' means "merged," and '''"ontstaan uit"''' means "originated from." | |||
