Census records in Belgium are a valuable resource for genealogical research, offering insights into family histories dating back to the early 19th century. The first national census was conducted in 1846, followed by regular censuses approximately every ten years until 1991.
These records document names, ages, birthplaces, occupations, and household structures, reflecting Belgium’s diverse linguistic and cultural history. Earlier population registers, maintained by municipalities since the late 18th century under French rule, provide even more detailed information on residents. Combined with civil registration records, Belgian census data is essential for tracing ancestry, migration patterns, and family connections.
