Netherlands Population Registers: Difference between revisions

Registers 1850–1939. These records are kept either in the municipal archives [''gemeentearchieven''] or in the municipal hall [''gemeentesecretarie'']. If they are in the archive they are open to the public, usually until 1900 or 1920, depending on the archive. Records in the town hall are, by rule, not open to the public, but population registers are generally available for inspection to about 1900. If the population registers you are seeking are not public, you may obtain an extract for a small fee. Write to the municipal administration as outlined below:

'''Cards and Lists 1940–Present.''' You may receive an extract of person cards [persoonskaarten] and person lists [persoonslijsten] of deceased individuals by contacting the Central Office for Genealogy. Extracts are provided for genealogical purposes at a cost of 5.65 guilders per extract (4.10 guilders if you are a Friend of the Society). It is possible to receive a yearly subscription of person lists for individuals with the same surname. Person lists of living people are unavailable.
