-[[Netherlands WieWasWie Records|WieWasWie]] gives you a quick way to find your Dutch forebears, both in the Netherlands and overseas. Your search is in the most accurate source for Dutch genealogy, the Civil Register. And it is not difficult! <br>
+[[Netherlands WieWasWie Records|WieWasWie]] is the premier site for Netherlands genealogy and also for former Dutch colonies. It contains indexes to civil registration from every part of the Netherlands. By now nearly all marriage records up to 1932 are online, as well as a sizable proportion of death records to 1962 and birth records to 1912.  It also has some church records, population registers, military conscription records and newspaper notices. Many records also have the original image available free of charge. 109 Million names are online as of July 2015.
-WieWasWie is a national Dutch database containing information for use in genealogical research. It is a joint initiative by the national archive services and the regional historical centres. This means that it is not a database of documents held by the Nationaal Archief. <br>
-WieWasWie holds data from the Civil Register. This is the official record of births, marriages and deaths in the Netherlands. It has existed in most of the country since 1811, but in the province of Limburg somewhat longer. Although WieWasWie contains a large proportion of this data, not all Dutch local authorities are yet included. Some provinces, such as Zuid-Holland, are still barely represented. <br>
-The database also contains some details of baptisms, marriages and deaths maintained by church parishes prior to 1811, as well as memories of inheritance from the 19th century.
-WieWasWie contains 109 million names as of July 2015
-For more precise details, see the page on [[Netherlands WieWasWie Records|WieWasWie]]
