Country Information[edit | edit source]
The Netherlands is a country in Western Europe bordered by Germany and Belgium. The official national language is Dutch.[1]
Netherlands Map[edit | edit source]Use the clickable map or the list below to visit the province page. 
Provinces[edit | edit source]The Netherlands consists of twelve provinces (the last one - Flevoland - was created from part of the former Zuider Zee/IJsselmeer on 1 January 1986).
Municipalities[edit | edit source]The second tier of jurisdiction and the one most relevant for genealogy, especially after 1811, is the gemeente (municipality). There are currently 393 municipalities, down from about 1200 in 1811. Links to pages listing municipalities and the towns within them can be found on corresponding province page.
