Censuses in Dutch research may not be as helpful as censuses from other countries because better sources such as church records and civil registration are available in the Netherlands. | Censuses in Dutch research may not be as helpful as censuses from other countries because better sources such as church records and civil registration are available in the Netherlands. | ||

Where available, census records can provide family relationships, ages, years of birth, marital statuses, religions, and places of birth. They can provide information where all or portions of other records are missing. Generally, you will find more complete family information in more recent censuses. Use the information with caution, however; it may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or a neighbor, and so some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified. | Where available, census records can provide family relationships, ages, years of birth, marital statuses, religions, and places of birth.

A population register is a system of record keeping used especially in northwestern Europe whereby household heads report changes in status of members of their household. The system was introduced in the Netherlands on 1 January 1850 and continued until replaced by the Gezinskaarten system in 1920. | A population register is a system of record keeping used especially in northwestern Europe whereby household heads report changes in status of members of their household.
