Belgium Civil Registration: Difference between revisions

As a rule of thumb, there should be a handwritten index at the end of each year for each record type. Additionally, as a rule of thumb, a ten-year index (''tienjarige tafel / table décennale'') was created indexing all births, marriages, and deaths in the municipality in either strict alphabetical order or organized by beginning letter then chronologically. The index provides the year, then either the act number, the date of the event, or the date of the registration of the event. You can then use these indexes to locate the original record. These indexes can be found at the State Archives or FamilySearch.
