An Orphans’ Chamber [''weeskamer''] was established by the civil authorities of a town to manage the affairs of orphans who inherited property from deceased parents or other relatives. An Orphans’ Chamber is different from an orphanage [''weeshuis'']. The earliest records begin in the 1400s and usually begin 100 to 200 years before the parish registers. Often family surnames are listed in these records for persons who are only recorded with patronymics in the parish registers. | An Orphans’ Chamber [''weeskamer''] was established by the civil authorities of a town to manage the affairs of orphans who inherited property from deceased parents or other relatives.
