MyHeritage Added More Records to its Dutch Collections

MyHeritage announced the publication on MyHeritage Super Search of seven large and significant historical record collections from the Netherlands. These collections have been added to their existing collection of Dutch records.

The new collections total over 116 million records, cover about five centuries and fascinating periods in Dutch history. During this timeframe, the Netherlands’ population grew from an estimated 1 million people to over 4.5 million inhabitants. Included are a census-like collection called “population registers,” a set of vital civil records (civil births, marriages, and deaths), and a set of vital church records (baptisms, marriages, and burials).
