== Finding Birth, Marriage and Death records  ==
Birth records are public and online up to 1902, 1912 or 1914 depending on place. Marriage records are public up to 1932 or 1939. Death records are public up to 1960, 1962 or 1964. Nearly all records have survived, though a very small percentage have not survived, especially in Noord-Holland.
This is a general guide to finding Netherlands Civil Registration if you know the precise place.


=== If the record is on WieWasWie  ===


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.
1. See if it has been put on [https://www.wiewaswie.nl/ WieWasWie] by using their page [http://wiewaswie.info/inhoud/watziterin.php WatZitErIn]. You will need to know the ''gemeente'' (municipality). For this find the place on [[Zoekakten]] and click at the top 'algemene info''. For Friesland it might be better to use [http://www.allefriezen.nl AlleFriezen] since WieWasWie gives exact matches only when you search, though wildcards are accepted


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.  
2. If not on WieWasWie, check [http://geneaknowhow.net/digi/bronnen.html Geneaknowhow] for transcriptions and family reconstructions by individuals and local historical societies.  


To find what is on WieWasWie, use their page [http://wiewaswie.info/inhoud/watziterin.php WatZitErIn]. It lists what is available for each ''gemeente''(municipality). If you know the place but not the municipality find the place on [[Zoekakten]] and click at the top 'algemene info''. ''
3. Otherwise you will have to use 1 Year and 10 Year indexes. The births, marriages and deaths are generally separate. These are both available on Zoekakten.The one year indexes are located at the end of each year's records. Ten year tables are located separately. The names will be alphabetically, though sometimes only the first letter is alphabetized. It will have the date of the record, though not the act number. Only the name of the main people(child, bride and grooms, deceased) will be included.  


WatZitErIn also indicates whether scans of the records are available on WieWasWie. Note that sometimes the link to the scan actually links to the first act of the year.  
4. Now you need to find the original image. If using WieWasWie a link may exist to the image or otherwise the first image for that year/set.  


If the record of interest is on WieWasWie and the scan is also there, it is relatively easy to find online.  
5. Otherwise use [[Zoekakten]] to find the image.  


If the scan is not online, note the place, municipality and act number and use Zoekakten to access the record. Remember to save a copy of the image.
If you know only a province or rough area:


=== If the record is not on WieWasWie  ===
1. Search WieWasWie. Try Google to see if other genealogists have found what you are looking for, then verify it yourself.
2. Zoekakten has some provncial alphabetial tables. Go to the province and click on ''[province] algemene''


There are alternatives to WieWasWie


*[http://geneaknowhow.net/digi/bronnen.html Geneaknowhow]. Click on the province on the left side of the page. The places in the province are then arranged in alphabetical order. For some places there are local indexes and family reconstructions offered by local historical and genealogical societies.

Always view the Marriage supplements after you have found a marriage using Zoekakten. Note the aktenummer(act number) of the marriage record, for the supplements are arranged in order of number. In some places the number is placed prominently in the corner of the image on a white card(added by the film taker). In most places each marriage has a title page giving the number, groom, and number of pages(not necessarily the number of images) . Finding the record you are after can be a long process, but it is worth it. As a general rule when searching, each marriage takes 5-6 images. Use this, the month, and the act number(Zoekakten often has the number of marriages that year displayed), to make an estimate of where to look first. Zoekakten and WieWasWie have began a partnership to index Marriage supplements, making them far easier to browse.
