I was considering researching a possible Essex - Dutch family tree link but I'm dismayed to find that the genealogy data provider I subscribe to - which has extensive records of some other European countries - does not have the Dutch records. Would anyone know if there's a reason for this? Do the Dutch perhaps not allow public searches of their BMD/ old census records? Thank for any advice anyone can give. Colleen
I can really recommend the Netherlands mailing list... there are some real pros on there that happily do many lookups. I suggest posting your known info and see what they come up with! http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/NLD/NETHERLANDS.html ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: colleen <[email protected]> Date: Sun, Sep 18, 2011 at 2:55 AM Subject: [Ess] Essex - Netherlands connections brick wall To: [email protected] I was considering researching a possible Essex - Dutch family tree link but I'm dismayed to find that the genealogy data provider I subscribe to - which has extensive records of some other European countries - does not have the Dutch records.

A big thank you to Ingrid, Cornelia and Stephanie who have kindly given me so much help regarding sites for Netherlands ancestors. Thank you, Essex ladies! Colleen
Hi Coleen http://www.genlias.nl/en/page0.jsp Not sure if this will help but I have used it - unfortunately it seems to stop with later ones ie so information is not misused? It shows parents with a death and other bits. It is also in English if this helps. Happy searching.
