Genealogy in Overijssel
For genealogical purposes, Overijssel is split into two parts. The eastern part, Twente, used the system of farm names before the introduction of the civil registration. The western part, consisting of Salland and Vollenhove, used patronymics mostly although a clear line cannot be drawn between the regions.
Most of the records for Overijssel are kept by the Overijssel Historical Center. Unfortunately, their website is in Dutch only. The marriage records from the civil registration and some of the death records can be found in WieWasWie.
