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:

I haven't researched any Dutch records yet. I do, however, have a Dutch friend so I'm hoping he will help me if I need some translating!  Naming conventions seem to be similar to Norwegian with a patronymic followed by a place name in many cases (no last names....in the US the place name sometimes became the Norwegian last name, but sometimes the patronymic became the last name...unfortunately).  And, of course, no consistant spelling that early!

Can anyone help me find the death information on Bouchina (Bouchiena Karels) Westerling?  She was married to Jan Edes Bos in 1839 and born in 1819 in Zuidbroek.  Thank you for your time.  I've looked in Allegroningers but haven't found anything.

Lisa - In that time period about 80% of the children in orphanages were half-orphans. Raising kids basically took two parents. Work days were often 10-12 hours long so a man couldn't work and raise the kids.

Comment by Taco Goulooze on November 8, 2012 at 7:19am

Good enough for me! Hope you are able to find out more. I did a quick scan, but nothing is mentioned in the local (or national) dutch papers at the time of her death.

Comment by Lisa T on November 8, 2012 at 7:03am

Oh my!!! Of all places, I should have looked there first.  I immediately went to the Dutch sites but found them really confusing. Lesson learned. Thank you VERY much!!!  You're my genealogy hero of the day! :)

and here's the link to her registration of death in the Leiden archives: record no. 751, death registration of Aafke Bijlsma

Comment by Taco Goulooze on November 8, 2012 at 5:22am

Hi Lisa,

I found her death certificate of FamilySearch, as part of the marriage supplements for the marriage of her daughter Annetta in 1924. According to the certificate, she died in Leiden on 17 Oct 1916. Here's the link to the image on FS: Death certificate Aafke Bijlsma
