Access to Netherlands Civil Registration records online is excellent. There is usually no longer any need to use microfilms from the Family History Library, or to visit archives. Nearly all records have survived, since two copies were made of each record and stored separately | |||
Law allows Birth records up to 1915, marriage records up to 1940 and death records up to 1965 to be released to the public as of 2016. Archives can be up to 10 years behind putting them online. | |||
* [https://www.wiewaswie.nl/ WieWasWie] has almost all marriages online, many deaths and some births. Some will have a link to the original image attached. For free you can search for 1 or 2 people with an exact spelling. With a subscription you can search with wildcards. [http://wiewaswie.info/inhoud/watziterin.php WatZitErIn] has a list of what is available on WieWasWie, however the dates it gives are often inaccurate. | |||
* The websites of local and provincial archives are all free, and may have slightly more records or better links to images than WieWasWie. | |||
* [[Zoekakten]] makes browsing images put online by FamilySearch much easier. It has near universal coverage of what has survived. | |||
* FamilySearch is beginning to put indexed records online. Most significant is their Delft Births collections, which cannot be found on WieWasWie. Amsterdam Births are currently in progress. | |||
* [http://geneaknowhow.net/digi/bronnen.html Geneaknowhow] has transcriptions and family reconstructions by individuals and local historical societies. | |||
* The authorities drew up one and ten year indexes (''tienjarigetafels'') by municipality. The births, marriages and deaths are generally separate. These are both available on Zoekakten.The one year indexes are located at the end of each year's records. Ten year tables are located separately under ''Tafels''. The names will be alphabetically, though sometimes only the first letter is alphabetized. It will have the date of the record, though not the act number. Only the name of the main people(child, bride and grooms, deceased) will be included. | |||
* Zoekakten also has some provincial indexes that cover an entire region or province for a large time period, and are arranged alphabetically. | |||
