Collateral succession [''collaterale successie'']. This is a tax on inheritances received from collateral lines, that is, from brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, persons other than parents, and grandparents (who would be direct line). The tax was levied on property left by the death of unmarried persons and married people who died childless. Collateral succession tax records cover 1591 to 1811, although many do not begin until 1700. The tax was imposed in the States of Holland and those lands controlled by the States General in 1658. The records did not cover the entire country until 1806, when a law dated 4 October 1805 took effect. These later records cover 1806 to 1811 and sometimes to 1817. They give the deceased person’s name, date of death, heirs, and estate value. | Collateral succession [''collaterale successie''].

These records have been filmed by the FamilySearch Library. At times they will be included with church records because the sexton of the Dutch Reformed Church kept the record for the town administration. Other times they will be found under the subject heading "[[Netherlands Public Records|Public Records]]." Therefore, search the following headings in the catalog: | ||

'''Memoranda of succession [''memories van successie''].''' A law of 27 December 1817 required an official document or memorandum of succession be filed in the District Office for Inheritance Rights for each person who died. For young children a "negative" memorandum was to be recorded. In reality, documents were not created for everyone. The records give the deceased’s name, occupation, death date and place, heirs (normally living children) and their residences, spouse’s name, estate value, and real estate location and tax assessment value. If the deceased had a will the date and name of the notary public is given. The records cover 1818 to 1900. The main purpose for using these records is to learn who the heirs were and where they lived. | '''Memoranda of succession [''memories van successie''].'''

Memoranda of succession have been filmed for the provinces of Limburg, Groningen, and Overijssel. They are either cataloged on a provincial or district [canton] level. You can learn which district a municipality was in by using the historical gazetteer by Abraham Jacobus van der Aa (see the "[[Netherlands Gazetteers|Gazetteers]]" section). | Memoranda of succession have been filmed for the provinces of Limburg, Groningen, and Overijssel.
