Records of births, marriages, and deaths are commonly called "civil registration" because critical events in a person’s life are recorded in them. Church records that contain vital records were made by ministers and priests. They are often called parish registers or church books. They include records of births, baptisms, marriages, deaths, and burials. In addition, church records may include account books (which record fees for tolling bells, fees for masses for the dead, and so forth), lists of confirmations, and lists of members. | Records of births, marriages, and deaths are commonly called "civil registration" because critical events in a person’s life are recorded in them.

Church records are crucial for pre-1811 Dutch research. Church records continued to be kept after the introduction of civil registration, but the Family History Library has not microfilmed many post–1811 church records. See the "[[Netherlands Civil Registration Records|Civil Registration]]" section for more information about post–1811 sources. <br> | Church records are crucial for pre-1811 Dutch research.

Remember, not all of this information will always be there, most often there is just the basic information. Make sure that when you find information on a christening that you don't enter that in your own records under 'birth date or death date'. The churches strictly kept records of the ordinances they performed, which are christenings, marriages and burial, so make sure that you enter that information in the correct field in your own records. Only once in a while will the minister or priest also enter a birth date or death date. <br> | Remember, not all of this information will always be there, most often there is just the basic information.
