Keep in mind, though, that research before 1811 is far more complex than research after 1811. More variation in spellings, many people in Friesland did not have a surname, marriage records do not list the names of parents, etc.

Tresoar

Click the English flag (top right) to get an English interface, then click Genealogy (left column), then seach before 1811.

Jessica, the Regionaal Archief Alkmaar is a great site for that region, but they don't appear to have the birth indexes (they do have the Bevolkingsregister & Huwelijksregister).  http://www.archiefalkmaar.nl Click on Genealogie>Zoeken op naam>Toon uitgebreide zoekopties (show advanced search).

Tienjarige tafels (ten-year tables) can be found at FamilySearch: Netherlands, Civil Registration, 1792-1952 >Browse through images>Noord-Holland>Graft>Tienjarige tafels (ten-year tables).

I am new to this group and new to Genealogywise.  I have found two dutch lines in my heritage, Sarah Opdyke (b.1743) of Hunterdon Co., NJ, my 5th great grandmother on my mother's side and Edith Updegraff (b.1760) of York Co., PA, 3rd great grandmother on my father's side.  I will do some further research using the recommended resources.  Thanks!

You probably need to put less information into the search fields on Genlias.
You can try searching for less info (like last names only), then if that returns too many, refine it further. Spelling can vary so try changing your search parameter to "Begins" - then you only need to provide the first 3 letters of a name.
Here are the three you are looking for.
