Hello again
I am now looking for the bie=rth record of Leendert Stok. On which website could I find this information? Noord Brabant is so easy, but not Noord Holland.

It's fine to help and to be helped...

Some searching on www.geneanet.org gives ancestors of Teunis en Stijntje.

Link: http://allrelatives.geneanet.org/contact/visser/W-A-Van-Der-Waal-Visser.

Thanks got it.

Thanks I got it. Now I'm looking for Leedert's birth record. Why is Rotterdam so difficult? I'm trying to register but they don't like my username.

Please, try this <a href="http://www.gemeentearchief.rotterdam.nl/content/index.php?option=com_wrapper&amp;Itemid=57" target="_blank">link</a>.
Success!

On the website of Rotterdam, don't forget to tick the appropriate check box. If you don't choose any, you won't get any results. You can also use wild cards.

According to the marriage, Leendert Stok is born in Charlois, which is part of Rotterdam now. Three younger childeren of Teunis Stok and Stijntje Klompenhouwer are born in Rotterdam. And you can find some marriages of brothers/sisters in Rotterdam. As the deaths of Charlois are online, you can find a stillborn sister of Leendert.
The births of Charlois can't be found online yet. See: http://www.gemeentearchief.rotterdam.nl/content/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=14&amp;Itemid=56

....again some searching for you. Genlias.nl gives birth-record.

You should know what era you're looking for. Anything new won't come up in the online registers as it is not publicly available.

This includes (amount of years after even was registered)
- birth, 100 years
- marriage, 75 years
- death, 50 years

Netherlands has several resources, most of oriented per region. The archives of Rotterdam hold Rotterdam and most of the surrounding areas, however not all has been digitalised yet! They still working on it. Genlias.nl collects and binds the information of most the regions as a central archive. Rotterdam is also included in Genlias.

Up to 1950 most members of Stok are born in Rotterdam. Also keep in mind that local goverment only register from
1811. If you go before 1811 you need to look into the registers made DTB registers, these go back till 16the century. Before that you need Church birth books. These are usually not online.

I also have several Leendert Stok in my heritage, and must say that registration is a mess. Probally due to the bombing in second world war of Rotterdam Center. They lost alot of archives then.

You can also import your tree in www.myheritage.nl and try smart matching.. There are several people there with stok in their tree.

Hope this helps with your search.
