Welcome to the Dutch genealogy discussion group on Genealogy Wise

If you are new to this group, please leave a comment below introducing yourself and your Dutch ancestors. Feel free to leave a link to your genealogy website or to discuss your brick walls.

If you are new to Dutch genealogy I suggest you start by reading my article Trace your Dutch roots online, and then search Genlias, the database of Dutch birth, marriage and death records maintained by the Dutch archives.

Here are five resources to get you started:


If your ancestors are among the early Dutch settlers of New Netherland then you need these resources:

Marilyn, just a note on http://www.allegroningers.nl...
If you found the marriage certificate index (http://www.allegroningers.nl/index.php?task=persoon_detail&opti...), you can click on Akte inzien to view the actual certificate.

For research in Groningen, http://www.allegroningers.nl/ is very good.

As I said, IE cannot handle it. You have to use a web browser.

Maybe this helps: A Guide to Genlias.

Be advised that Internet Explorer still does not support web standards and is therefore still not capable of rendering that page. The four leading web browsers (Opera,Firefox, Safari and Chrome) render it just fine.

Hi everyone. I just found this page today. I have been doing my family genealogy for some 30 years now. Can't stop! My family is mostly from Friesland, North Holland, and South Holland, and a few scattered ones from Germany (before 1750) I was born in Utrecht, so I have no American ancestors. My family names are PRAAMSMA, BOMMER, BORGER, BANGMA, GEERTSMA, RODENRIJS, UITTENBROEK, van HAASTEREN (and all it's permutations) LABEE,and many more. I still have many blank spots on my tree.
Just can't seem to kick the habit!

New on the GenLias website:

Ancestors New Amsterdam – New York in Genlias

In 1609, exactly 400 years ago, the explorer Henry Hudson left Amsterdam engaged by the Dutch East India Company to try to find a sea route along the north-east coast of North America. He did not find that route, but he discovered the island Manna Hatta. In his wake came Dutch traders and colonists who founded New Amsterdam. These ancestors of the present-day New York can now be found in Genlias.

De baptismal and marriage records have survived, beginning in 1639 and these data are now uploaded in our unique ancestor database Genlias. At the same time the site is enlarged with the background information about these records. The grand totals are 20.219 baptismal records over the years 1639-1800 and 6636 marriage records over the years 1639-1801.

Now you can search for the ancestors of Roosevelt, Van der Bildt, Bogardt, Van Bueren and Springsteen in Genlias and maybe, leafing through the database, you will come across members of your family!

This is only the beginning, according to Rob Huijbrecht the project manager of Genlias Overseas. In the future we hope to add even more faraway countries. So the researchers can track their ancestors who emigrated with the help of Genlias.

Did anyone see this fascinating story?

You can't blame my ancestors. We weren't even on this side of the Atlantic for another 49 years.
