The articles on this wiki for each record type will list where to find the records. Nearly all of the more commonly used ones are online. Sometimes you will be able to search by name, sometimes you need to look up the name in an alphabetical index, and other times manually browse either the originals or a typed-up transcript. | |||
The following sites are commonly used: | |||
* [[WieWasWie]]- search by name for many civil registration records and some others | |||
* [[Zoekakten]], used to access records on FamilySearch- all civil registration, church records and many others | |||
* [https://www.openarch.nl/ OpenArch]- search by name in data taken from provincial and local archives. | |||
* [http://geneaknowhow.net/digi/bronnen.html GeneaKnowHow]- links to hundreds of records. They aim to have virtually all relevant records online listed in a logical way. | |||
* The sites of provincial and local archives- see the [[Netherlands Regional Websites]] article | |||
