Population registers [''bevolkingsregisters''], abbreviated '''BR''' in the Netherlands are an important source of genealogical information. They track the movement of people from one residence to another. Officially, population registers began for each municipality on l January 1850 and were based on the 3rd National Census, taken 19 November 1849. Some places started using these kind of records earlier (for example, the province of Zuid-Holland in 1845, or part of Gelderland in 1811). Population registers should not be confused with the [[Netherlands Census|Census]], which records the population at a point in time. Rather Population Registers record the population over a period ''as it changes''. | Population registers [''bevolkingsregisters''], abbreviated '''BR''' in the Netherlands are an important source of genealogical information.
