brabantse-genealogie.nl

Brabantse Genealogie runs a website with a population reconstruction and genealogical records for the enclave villages of Baarle-Nassau and Baarle-Hertog, on the Dutch-Belgian border. It offers person and family search, indexed civil registers (birth, marriage and death), DTB registers, graves, notices and photo and video albums.

The site is aimed at people researching their family history in the region. It also links to other population reconstruction sites in the Netherlands and Belgium, and to the OpenArchieven database. The site has a local history section covering notable residents of Baarle.

The enclaves originated in the late 12th century from a dispute between the Count of Holland and the Duke of Brabant. Under the Treaty of Münster in 1648, Baarle-Hertog went to the Southern Netherlands and Baarle-Nassau to the Dutch Republic.
