Netherlands, Church Marriages, 1580-1811

4,557,741 records
This collection is an index to marriage records (marriage banns and marriage ceremonies) from various churches and localities throughout the Netherlands. Records typically list the names of the bride and the groom, their marriage date, residences, and religion. Source information is also provided to help locate the original record.

Church records are extremely important because they are the primary source of vital information prior to the institution of civil registration. In the Netherlands, most people attended either the Dutch Reformed or Catholic churches, but other denominations existed as well. Please see the archive list below for locality coverage. The majority of the records date between 1580 and 1811, though the extent of year coverage can vary by locality.
