- (AEZEL) People Search - Archief voor Erfgoed van Zuid-Nederlandse Eigendommen en Leefgemeenschappen' (Archives for Heritage of Southern Netherlands Properties and Communities) Since 2019, all data from Alle Limburgers have been included in aezel.eu . This is an innovative website in which the data from Alle Limburgers are combined with cadastral data of plots and owners, in addition to other themes such as Cemeteries and Stolpersteine. Since that time, no new data has been added to Alle Limburgers, but to AEZEL. There are no costs associated with consulting AEZEL and downloading scans. In time, All Limburgers will disappear.[1]

Introduction
- Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm.
- If you plan to visit a repository, contact them and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
- Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the FamilySearch Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.
Regional and Municipal Archives
- The provincial archives are located in the capital of each of the 12 provinces.
- Municipal archives exist for most large towns. They contain the same type of genealogical records found in the state archives.
- The FamilySearch Library has microfilmed many records from these archives.
- Each archive collects records from its respective province. Records of genealogical value at these archives include:
- Church records.
- Civil registrations.
- Population registers.
- Censuses.
- Court records.
