Jewish records [''joodse dokumenten''] include records about Jews or those created by Jewish congregations. The Family History Library has thousands of microfilms concerning Dutch Jews. Civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths, as well as census and population registers in the 19th and 20th centuries, include Jews since these records cover the entire population. Jewish people are found in tax records, and many (but not all) Jewish marriages will be included in the civil marriage records before 1811. In addition, there are records of name adoptions, many specific to Jewish people.
