These records have been filmed by the FamilySearch Library. At times they will be included with church records because the sexton of the Dutch Reformed Church kept the record for the town administration. Other times they will be found under the subject heading "[[Netherlands Public Records|Public Records]]." Therefore, search the following headings in the catalog: | ||

'''Memoranda of succession [''memories van successie''].''' A law of 27 December 1817 required an official document or memorandum of succession be filed in the District Office for Inheritance Rights for each person who died. For young children a "negative" memorandum was to be recorded. In reality, documents were not created for everyone. The records give the deceased’s name, occupation, death date and place, heirs (normally living children) and their residences, spouse’s name, estate value, and real estate location and tax assessment value. If the deceased had a will the date and name of the notary public is given. The records cover 1818 to 1900. The main purpose for using these records is to learn who the heirs were and where they lived. | '''Memoranda of succession [''memories van successie''].'''

Memoranda of succession have been filmed for the provinces of Limburg, Groningen, and Overijssel. They are either cataloged on a provincial or district [canton] level. You can learn which district a municipality was in by using the historical gazetteer by Abraham Jacobus van der Aa (see the "[[Netherlands Gazetteers|Gazetteers]]" section). | Memoranda of succession have been filmed for the provinces of Limburg, Groningen, and Overijssel.
