If a child was born out of wedlock it will not usually mention a father, even if he is known. If the child's parents do later marry and the father acknowledge the child as his, it will mention this in the margin.At that time the last name of the child will also change from the mother's last name to the father's last name. However this does not mean that he is the biological father!. If the child is illegitimate, but the father is named, there is no reason to suspect false paternity. [[Netherlands Church Records|Church Records]] may be of use in these situations, but are difficult to access. | If a child was born out of wedlock it will not usually mention a father, even if he is known.

*'''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''].

Those people who were born without a fixed surname are probably recorded under a patronymic or were "given" a surname posthumously, often based on the farm they were born at or lived at. | Those people who were born without a fixed surname are probably recorded under a patronymic or were "given" a surname posthumously, often based on the farm they were born at or lived at. | ||

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 | 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. On the basis of date or aktenummer (the total number for the year is often listed on Zoekakten) make a preliminary guess(e.g. 1000 images, a June marriage, estimate 500). In some places the number is placed prominently in the corner of the image on a white card, otherwise use FamilySearch's new thumbnail feature to find the title pages for each marriage giving the ''aktenummer'', 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. Zoekakten and WieWasWie have began a partnership to index Marriage supplements, making them far easier to browse. | ||
