'''1940-1994''': ''persoonskaarten'' The size and movement of the population from 1940 was recorded using person cards [persoonskaarten]. These exist from 1940 to 1 October 1994. Some cards exist for 1938 and 1939. Information about each person was entered onto an individual card instead of being listed as part of a family group. The cards were maintained by the municipal administration. When someone moved, the card was forwarded to the new municipality. When the person died, the card was sent to the Central Office for Statistics [''Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek''], then forwarded onto the Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie (CBG) for safekeeping. | '''1940-1994''': ''persoonskaarten'' The size and movement of the population from 1940 was recorded using person cards [persoonskaarten].
