Since genealogical records since about 1932 or so are closed to the public, you'll need to ask your family members about more recent events. Ask older members about where they were born, their family, parents and even grandparents. See if anyone else in the family has an interest in genealogy. If your family is in possession of old documents like passports, marriage booklets (''trouwboekje''), birth certificates, family Bibles, obituaries, or diaries, use these as a further starting point. | Since genealogical records since about 1932 or so are closed to the public, you'll need to ask your family members about more recent events.
