'''First search these sites to find a record:'''  


* [https://www.wiewaswie.nl/ WieWasWie] has almost all marriages online, many deaths and some births. Some will have a link to the original image attached. For free you can search for 1 or 2 people with an exact spelling. With a subscription you can search with wildcards. [http://wiewaswie.info/inhoud/watziterin.php WatZitErIn] has a list of what is available on WieWasWie, however the dates it gives are often inaccurate.

* The authorities drew up one and ten year indexes (''tienjarigetafels'') by municipality. 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 under ''Tafels''. 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.

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.
'''Then find the original image if you have not already:'''  
 
* [[Zoekakten]] makes browsing images put online by FamilySearch much easier. It has nearly universal coverage of what has survived. The images are black and white, and some are poor quality.  
<br> 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
* The websites of local and provincial archives should also contain images. <br>  
 
2. If not on WieWasWie, check [http://geneaknowhow.net/digi/bronnen.html Geneaknowhow] for transcriptions and family reconstructions by individuals and local historical societies.
 
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.
 
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.
 
5. Otherwise use [[Zoekakten]] to find the image.
 
See [[Reading Dutch Civil Registration]]
 
If you know only a province or rough area:
 
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''

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&nbsp; 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.
Always view the Marriage supplements after you have found a marriage. The example below shows a typical scenario:
