Population | Population registration 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: | ||
