== Census Records and Population Registers | |||
In the Netherlands, a census(''volkstelling'') is a count of the population at a certain point in time. They should not be confused with [[Netherlands Population|Population registers(''Bevolkingregisters'')]] which record individuals over a period of time, usually 10 years, and are far more commonly used for genealogy. Censuses in Dutch research may not be as helpful as censuses from other countries because better sources such as [[Netherlands Church Records|church records''',''']] [[Netherlands Civil Registration|civil registration]] and [[Netherlands Population|'''p'''opulation registers]] are available in the Netherlands. | In the Netherlands, a census(''volkstelling'') is a count of the population at a certain point in time.

=== 1811 ''Registre Civique'' | ===1811 ''Registre Civique''=== | ||
The modern era of Dutch population record keeping began under French occupation. In 1811, civil registration begins and the introduction of adult male suffrage under the Code Civil (or Code Napoleon) resulted in the creation of a voters' list (registre civique) by the local authorities (mairie) usually with a copy forwarded to the department. These census substitutes will be found in the municipal and provincial archives. | The modern era of Dutch population record keeping began under French occupation.

Three national censuses were undertaken by Statistics Netherlands (Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek - Central Agency for Statistics) in 1947, 1960 and 1971. This approach was abandoned in favour of a new model: in 1981 and 1991 a "virtual census" was undertaken based on data in the Population Registers and surveys. | Three national censuses were undertaken by Statistics Netherlands (Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek - Central Agency for Statistics) in 1947, 1960 and 1971.

Census records can be difficult to find online. Some specific websites are mentioned in this article [http://www.geneaknowhow.net GeneaKnowHow] is always a good place to try. Post-1811 census records are sometimes included in the FamilySearch Record Collection [https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2018408 Netherlands Census and Population Registers, 1574-1940]. | Census records can be difficult to find online.
