Census records in the Netherlands are a valuable resource for genealogical research, providing insights into family histories since the early 19th century. The first national census was conducted in 1795, followed by regular censuses approximately every ten years until 1971. These records document names, ages, birthplaces, occupations, and household compositions, helping researchers trace Dutch ancestry and migration patterns.
Additionally, municipal population registers, introduced in 1850, offer continuous updates on residents, making them a key supplement to census data. Combined with church and civil registration records, Dutch census records are essential for uncovering family connections and historical demographics.
