Questions & Answers

Question

When will all the data be available in the system? - from the Genlias FAQ

Answer

All the participants in Genlias have agreed to prioritise the entry of marriage records. Most provinces have already entered a large number of records. Smaller provinces like Flevoland and Drenthe have an advantage in this respect. Provinces such as Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland, containing major cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam, have a lot more work to do. So at this stage we are unable to provide a definitive answer to this question.
