*It will never say if the child is legitimate or illegitimate.


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. However this does not mean that he is the biological father!. If the child is illegitimate, but the father is named, there is no reason to suspect false paternity. [[Netherlands Church Records|Church Records]] may be of use in these situations, but are difficult to access.

*'''Marriage Consents''' [''Huwelijkstoestemmingen'']. Parents were normally present at the wedding and stated that they gave their consent for the couple to marry. If parents were absent, their written permission would be included with the marriage supplements. Beginning in 1913, separate registers were used to record the parents’ permission for the bride and groom to marry.

Remember, married women are always recorded under their maiden surname. The informant’s name (often a relative) is also given.<br>Information about parents, the birth date and birthplace of the deceased, and other information in a death record may be inaccurate since the person who gave the information may not have had complete information.

Children who died before the declaration of birth was made, are recorded as stillborn and are found only in the death records. This also means that when a child is recorded as stillborn it may not necessarily be true, as a birth had to be recorded within 3 days of birth. In other words, if the child died within those three days, it would most likely not be recorded in the birth records. When looking for a stillborn child you may have to look in the index under 'L' for 'Levenloos' (stillborn),

Those people who were born without a fixed surname are probably recorded under a patronymic or were "given" a surname posthumously, often based on the farm they were born at or lived at.

Always view the Marriage supplements after you have found a marriage using Zoekakten. Note the aktenummer(act number) of the marriage record, for the supplements 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 act number(Zoekakten often has the number of marriages that year displayed), to make an estimate of where to look first. Zoekakten and WieWasWie have began a partnership to index Marriage supplements, making them far easier to browse.
