The second tier of jurisdiction and the one most relevant for genealogy, especially after 1811, is the ''gemeente'' (municipality). There are currently 393 municipalities, down from about 1200 in 1811. Links to pages listing municipalities and the towns within them can be found on corresponding province page. | |||
