=== Records at the Family History Library === | |||
The Family History Library has filmed nearly all church records of the Netherlands. The library has church records to mostly 1811; some are later. The specific holdings of the Family History Library are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog. You can determine whether the library has records for the locality your ancestor came from by checking the "Locality Search" section of the FamilySearch Catalog. However, if a record has been destroyed, was never kept, or has not been microfilmed, the Family History Library does not have a copy. | |||
In the FamilySearch Catalog, look under the name of the town where the church was, not necessarily the town where your ancestor lived. Look under: | |||

Most of the registers of baptisms, marriages, and burials for the Netherlands have been indexed by the archives and other interested genealogists. For example, the Gelders archief has indexed all Church records from Gelderland. These can be accessed through FamilySearch or Zoekakten | Most of the registers of baptisms, marriages, and burials for the Netherlands have been indexed by the archives and other interested genealogists.

Church records were kept at the local parish of the church. The term parish refers to the jurisdiction of a church minister. Parishes are local congregations that may have included many neighboring villages in their boundaries. | Church records were kept at the local parish of the church.
