 === Additional steps for marriages  ===
-Always view the Marriage supplements after you have found a marriage using Zoekakten. Note the ''aktenummer'' (act number) of the marriage record, for the supplements are arranged in order of number. On the basis of date or aktenummer (the total number for the year is often listed on Zoekakten) make a preliminary guess (e.g. if there are 1000 images, and you are looking for a June marriage, estimate around image #500). In some places the number is placed prominently in the corner of the image on a white card; otherwise use FamilySearch's new thumbnail feature to find the title pages for each marriage giving the ''aktenummer'', groom, and number of pages (not necessarily the number of images) . Finding the record you are after can be a long process, but it is worth it. As a general rule when searching, each marriage takes 5-6 images.  Zoekakten and WieWasWie have began a partnership to index Marriage supplements, making them far easier to browse.

+===Example ===
+It is desired to find the marriage supplements of Jan Jacobus Jansen who married Gerritje Peijer in Arnhem on 8 June 1881, act number 140.
+. Go Zoekakten, then GL, then Arnhem, then Huwelijksbijlagen, then the film for 1881 and part of 1882. Zoekakten has indexed this film. For 1881 the supplements take images 9-1730. This marriage is in June, so estimate just before halfway and try 800.
+. Number cards on the corner exist here. Go thumbnail view and they can still be read. It can no be seen that an overestimate has been made, for  image 771 is act number 145. Try image 750.
+. Thumbnail view from image 750 shows that act number 140 covers images 730-732. This is a smaller than usual marriage supplement. The marriages either side have 6 pages each.
