WieWasWie

WieWasWie is the premier site for Netherlands genealogy and also for former Dutch colonies. It contains indexes to civil registration from every part of the Netherlands. By now nearly all marriage records up to 1932 are online, as well as a sizable proportion of death records to 1962 and birth records to 1912. It also has some church records, population registers, military conscription records and newspaper notices. Many records also have the original image available free of charge. 109 Million names are online as of July 2015.


Zoekakten

  • Zoekakten allows easier access to images of records found on FamilySearch.org for The Netherlands and Belgium. Search by province, then place or municipality. Choose the record type and time period to link to the mages. This site is particularly useful for records that are not yet on WieWasWie and those that are but whose images are not available on WieWasWie. See Netherlands Civil Registration for details on how to use the site for post-1811 research.

Geneaknowhow and Van Papier Naar Digitaal

  • Geneaknowhow.net Digital Resources includes research tips, maps, and other reference material for research in Belgium and the Netherlands. In addition, there are links to Internet resources and bibliographies of other digital source material. Basic instructions in English are available. To get to the digital sources, click on the folder titled “Digital Resources Netherlands and Belgium”. The left-hand navigation bar includes general information, passenger lists, and then names each province in both countries with the sections:”Internet” [lists links to various internet resources for towns in this province] and “disk/cd-r” [material available on diskettes or CD-Rom, either free or for purchase]. So-called “bulletin-board systems” are listed below. Abbreviations are explained under “Explanations” on the bottom of the left-hand bar.
  • Van Papier naar Digitaal is a subsidary of Geneaknowhow. It contains images and indexes of Church Records and other pre-1811 sources such as censuses, resident lists and tax records.
