Family research in Netherlands

[Gjest]

I'm interested in doing some family research into a birth in the
Netherlands some fifty years ago. I have some family details such as
parent name, and I need to exactly identify the entry.

How does one search for birth records in the Netherlands? Is there an
online system for birth registrations, and is it searchable online or
do you have to pay the office to do the search?

If there is no online system, how are births registered in .nl, is
there just one central registry or is the record divided between
cities or districts? Are there agents who could carry out a search on
my behalf, or could I task the registry with the work?

Reponse in English would be kind.

Take a look at the Central Bureau for Genealogy page http://www.cbg.nl/ The
main page is in dutch, but there's a "click for english"button. Email to the
CBG will be answered in english, if it was written in english.

BMDs are coming on line in GENLIAS, but (as with other countries) not the
newer stuff - deaths must be 50 years old, weddings 75 and births 100.
They're at http://genlias.nl, but only in dutch. For a relatively recent
birth, the cbg is a better bet.
In addition, some local councils are putting their historical registers of
bapMDs on line - the Delft one is a superb example.

The other thing to try is the newsgroup soc.genealogy.benelux.

For the more recent data there are two sources:
- Personscards/Personslist: only available if the person you are looking
for is deceased for more then two years. That is a bit unlikely for someone
born about 50 years ago. (Average age in The Netherlands is about 75 year).
- The huge collections of BDM-advertisements of the NGV (Dutch Genealogical
Society) and the CBG (Central Bureau of Genealogy). Both have a collection
of about 15.000.000 (15 million!) advertisements. They are not online
available, but if you do a request in soc.genealogy.benelux there is a
great chance on finding someone who is willing to help.

Happy hunting!

Doc,

Thanks for posting the URL for CBG! I'll have to check that one out.
BTW, Genlias IS available in English - click on the English button on
the home page. Some items are in Dutch; however, main data
categories are in English. Of course, you multi-lingual folk dinna
have to worry about sich minor things. ;>)

Is there a listing somewhere that gives a few Dutch words and
English translations for data found in Dutch records? I have gotten
to know born, died, married, bride, bridegroom and a few others,
but lazy folk hate to have to go to the translation service.

A nice general glossary of dutch words and phrases, especially those
commonly found during family research can be found at

Hi,
Seems no one asked you what the name(s) are you are wanted to
research in the Netherlands.
Ok, I'm willing to do some look-ups for you. I'm in Den Haag
located at 30 minutes from the CBG.
There are no cost involved for my time.
If you want copies of certificats etc -I will send them to you
at the price the authorities offer. Mailcost will be included.
Interested? let me know, and write me what it is you want,
I might be able to help.
greetings from Den Haag,
Patrick van Griethuysen
