Noord-Holland
For Geographical and Historical Information see: Noord-Holland
The capital city is Haarlem, see: Haarlem
A good web-site for this province is: Digitale bronbewerkingen Nederland en België Then, on the left side of the screen, find Noord-Holland and click on the Internet button located below the name of the province you are looking for.
When, in your research, you find an ancestor who came from Noord-Holland and you fill out the locality field, please do not translate the name of the province. In other words, don't write 'North Holland', but 'Noord-Holland' and make sure it is hyphenated as well. This is the correct way to enter the name of the province.

Research Tools[edit | edit source]
Genealogy in Noord-Holland
There are no specific naming traditions that researchers need to take into account when doing research in Noord-Holland. Most families had fixed surnames centuries before the civil registration made that mandatory. Some regions did use patronymics in addition to the family name.
Most genealogical records of the province are kept by the Noord-Hollands Archief. The records of Amsterdam are kept by the Amsterdam Municipal Archives.
Many of the marriage records from Noord-Holland can be found in WieWasWie. Many births and some deaths are also on WieWasWie. No births and deaths from Amsterdam are online yet.
Emigration from Noord-Holland
Noord-Holland has always been one of the more prosperous parts of the Netherlands. Amsterdam especially has always drawn many immigrants. As a result, Noord-Holland wasn’t struck particularly hard by any of the major emigration waves. Many enterpreneurs, especially from Amsterdam, left the country to live in colonies or tradeposts around the world.
