Netherlands Antilles
BMD records for the Netherlands Antilles have recently been added to Genlias. From the Genlias site:
"Almost half the records from the Civil Registration of the period 1828-1950 of the Netherlands Antilles have been added to Genlias. That is good news for the population of the Antilles and for Dutch people with ancestors from the Antilles.
For the past three years, the National Archief of the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba have worked together to prepare for this. The Genlias website has been modified so archives from overseas can participate. Next, 47,000 records from the Civil Registration from the Antilles were added to Genlias. These records have been entered by volunteers of the National Archives in Willemstad. The islands of Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten and Bonaire are available completely and some records from Aruba and Saba are available as well. The other records, including those from Curaçao, will follow as soon as they will have been entered. We hope you will enjoy this new addition to Genlias."
