Dutch Family Help

Post by the_b1ues »

So im looking to trace my family history but the only problem is my family are originally come from Holland. This makes thinks a bit more interesting but i don't no where to start trying to find info. Ive got a small amount of information from my grandparents. But not alot to go on just Names and a few birth dates of there parents. So my question is where is the best place to go next with a none English tree?

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

Hi,
this would be best over in general section. This area is for help to show how or where to look. Looking for the information on your family you may get more help in general.
As Jimmy says give as much info as you can, see if we can help.

I will move it over for you.
Jo :)

Have you tried the genlias database? Also you can hire english speaking Dutch based researchers not dear. I am using one for my Dutch ancestors at present. It is more difficult to search Dutch records though as they seem to be held locally and not centrally.
