If a child was born out of wedlock it will not usually mention a father, even if he is known. If the child's parents do later marry and the father acknowledge the child as his, it will mention this in the margin.At that time the last name of the child will also change from the mother's last name to the father's last name. If the father later acknowledges his child, the child's surname will change to that of his father. Remember this when searching in other records.<br><br> | If a child was born out of wedlock it will not usually mention a father, even if he is known.

If there are indexes available, use these to search for the record you are looking for. Remember that all indexes have mistakes, so try another index or search manually if you can't find what you are looking for. | If there are indexes available, use these to search for the record you are looking for.

Use Zoekakten to view marriage supplements. Note the aktenummer(record number), for they are arranged in order of number. In some places the number is placed prominently in the corner of the image on a white card(added by the film taker). In most places each marriage has a title page giving the number, groom, and number of pages(not necessarily the number of images) . Finding the record you are after can be a long process, but it is worth it. As a general rule when searching, each marriage takes 5-6 images. Use this, the month, and the record number(Zoekakten often has the number of marriages that year displayed), to make an estimate of where to look first. Then either look in the corner, or go forward to the next title page, to decide your next move. | Use Zoekakten to view marriage supplements.
