 There are many genealogical societies that emphasize Dutch research. Most of these societies publish helpful periodicals, transcripts, and compiled genealogies and may have special indexes, collections, and projects. Many publish queries about Dutch ancestors or maintain a list of members’ research interests. Some specialize in the immigrants to a specific area. The following societies are of interest:
-'''The Central Bureau for Genealogy.''' This society is the foremost genealogical society in the Netherlands and has the largest holdings.
+'''The Central Bureau for Genealogy.''' This society is the foremost genealogical society in the Netherlands and has the largest holdings.  Located adjacent to the National Archive, CBG was established by the government to assist people with their genealogical research.  You do not need to be a member of this society to get research help from them.  They welcome inquiries.  Simply email your request from their website.  Because they are only partially funded by the government, they are forced to generate additonal funds by charging a modest fee for some of their services.  They are very knowledgeable and wonderful to work with.
