*'''Marriage Intentions''' [''Huwelijksaangiften''] were made a few days before the first marriage proclamation. The couple were required to announce their intention to marry in the residence of both bride and groom. This allowed other community members the opportunity to raise any objections to the marriage. The intentions give the couple’s names, ages, marital statuses before the marriage, occupations, and residences. From 1811 to 1879 the records were combined with the marriage proclamations in one register. After 1879 they were placed in separate registers. They were not prepared in duplicate and are not indexed. Marriage intentions were discontinued in 1935. | *'''Marriage Intentions''' [''Huwelijksaangiften''] were made a few days before the first marriage proclamation.

*'''Marriage Proclamations''' [''Huwelijksafkondigingen''], also called marriage banns, were published for two weeks in a row. They provide the couple’s names, ages, marital statuses before the marriage, occupations, and residences. They also give the names of the parents and their occupations, residences, and marital statuses. Like the marriage intentions, the proclamations were not prepared in duplicate and are not indexed.

*'''Marriage Consents''' [''Huwelijkstoestemmingen'']. Parents were normally present at the wedding and stated that they gave their consent for the couple to marry. If parents were absent, their written permission would be included with the marriage supplements. Beginning in 1913, separate registers were used to record the parents’ permission for the bride and groom to marry. | *'''Marriage Consents''' [''Huwelijkstoestemmingen''].

Death records are especially helpful because they may provide important information on a person’s birth, spouse, and parents. Civil death records often exist for individuals whom there are no birth or marriage records for. Deaths were usually registered within three days of the death in the municipality where the person died. If the deceased person was not a resident of that town, often a copy would be sent to that person's residence. | Death records are especially helpful because they may provide important information on a person’s birth, spouse, and parents.

Many births, marriages and death records after 1811 have been put on [https://www.wiewaswie.nl/ WieWasWie] or [https://www.wiewaswie.nl/en/home/ English Version] . WieWasWie is the premier site for Netherlands genealogy, containing 109 million records as of July 2015, available free of charge. | |||
Nearly every marriage record from 1811-1932 has been put online, as well as most death records from 1811-1962 and some births from 1811-1912. Some marriages up to 1939, deaths up to 1964 and births up to 1914 have also been added. | |||
