Findings
Researching Dutch ancestry is so much more than finding just the names. in Civil records and church books!
I have found their houses, farms, old pictures, a detailed description of the ancestors and much more in all kind of records!
Prison Records
No need to be embarassed if I found information about your ancestor in the prison records!
I found one ancestor who went to jail because he did not muzzle the dog who was pulling a car.
Under signalement you will see a full description of the prisoner.
Hospital records
Finding your ancestor in the hospital records will mean a lot information. In this part of the record you can see the age, profession, married or single, children, place where he is born, place where he lives, names from the parents, the profession of the parents, where they lived and if the hospitalized ancestor left the hospital alive or died.
