In the Netherlands, a census(''volkstelling'') is a count of the population at a certain point in time. [[Netherlands Population|Population registers(''Bevolkingregisters'')]] record individuals over a period of time, usually 10 years. This article deals with censuses only. [[Netherlands Population|Population registers]] are far more commonly used by genealogists. See [[Netherlands Population|Population Registers]] for more information. Censuses in Dutch research may not be as helpful as censuses from other countries because better sources such as church records, civil registration and [[Netherlands Population|population registers]] are available in the Netherlands. | In the Netherlands, a census(''volkstelling'') is a count of the population at a certain point in time.
