== Civil Registration == | |||
In 1811 the Napoelonic Regime began the [[Netherlands Civil Registration|civil registration]] of births, marriages and deaths. This has been continued by the Dutch government ever since. Civil registration is organized around municipalities of the time of the events. | |||
For Steenwijkerland and its former municipalities, births from 1811-1912, marriages from 1811-1932 and deaths from 1811-1960 are on [[WieWasWie]] and [http://openarch.nl/ OpenArch]. The exception is births from Zwartsluis, and births from Hasselt from 1903-1912. | |||
The original images are not linked to this index, so use [[Zoekakten]] to access them. Zoekakten or the FamilySearch Catalog may also have images for births 1913-1916, marriages 1933-1941 and deaths 1961-1966. Births older than 100 years, marriages older than 75 years and deaths older than 50 years are able to be publicly released but archives can be behind putting them online. Current policy is to release records in ten year blocs, so that in 2018 marriages to 1942 will be released and in 2023 births to 1922 and deaths to 1972 will be released | |||
