Birth records in Belgium are invaluable resources for genealogists tracing their family history. These records, known as "actes de naissance" in French or "geboorteakten" in Dutch, typically contain detailed information about the newborn, including date and place of birth, parents' names, occupations, and ages.
Belgian civil registration began in 1796, with records becoming publicly accessible after 100 years.
Uniquely, Belgian birth records often include marginal notes (annotations marginales) that provide additional information about the individual's life events, such as marriages or deaths, making them particularly valuable for genealogical research.
