A small village that did not have its own church was usually assigned to a parish in a nearby larger town. Consequently, your ancestor may have lived in one village but belonged to a parish in another town. This is particularly true of Roman Catholic parishes. In predominant Dutch Reformed Church areas, Roman Catholic records include people for a wide area. | A small village that did not have its own church was usually assigned to a parish in a nearby larger town.

The | The FamilySearch Catalog refers to parishes by the town in which the parish church was located, unless there was more than one church in the town. In large cities there may be many parishes for each religion. Church buildings were often named for saints, so the catalog uses the church name such as St. John to distinguish between different parishes in the same city. | ||

The library has church records to mostly 1811; some are later. The specific holdings of the Family History Library are listed in the FamilySearch Catalog. You can determine whether the library has records for the locality your ancestor came from by checking the "Locality Search" section of the FamilySearch Catalog. However, if a record has been destroyed, was never kept, or has not been microfilmed, the Family History Library does not have a copy. | ||
In the | In the FamilySearch Catalog, look under the name of the town where the church was, not necessarily the town where your ancestor lived. Look under: | ||
