Lesser Used Records for Research in the Netherlands

About this webinar
The Netherlands has excellent records. Records of births, marriages, and deaths were kept by the civil registration since 1811 and by churches since the early 1600s. Genealogists who don’t look beyond these records may create trees that go back ten generations, but they can be bare or have mistakes. By expanding the research to lesser used sources, we can learn more about our ancestors’ lives and find evidence of family relationships to build reliable conclusions. Using examples from her own research, Yvette will demonstrate how to find and use court, notarial, military, and cadastral records, and other records you may not have used before. Find out if your Dutch ancestors owned property, what their occupations were, or even what they looked like. See them in the context of their families and associates, and understand their roles in the communities where they lived.

All new stuff for me.\n\nAlways enjoy listening to Yvette. We met her back in 2012 when she was still working at the National Archives in The Hague and she helped us tremendously with our research of our Brink family ancestors in the mid 1600 era. She also took us to the Gelderland area where they lived and the Dolderbrenck area where their specific home at that time was! She then arranged for us to see a very special map of that latter area which was located in Arnhem at that archive. We later met with her again in 2014.\n\nAlways good to learn new research tips.
