Title: Dutch Links
Post by: catkin on Thursday 01 September 05 16:10 BST (UK)
Trying to trace a possible female relative born in Almelo, Holland during the WW2 likely between 1942 and 1943.  Anyone any idea where I should start looking?  I have a working knowledge of the language so should be able to cope.

Hi Catkin!

I really don't have an answer to your question - but maybe this will give you some ideas!!

Hi,

Try www.startpagina.nl  It has lots of general links to various sites in The Netherlands (though I haven't looked for any family history sites).  This site is VAST!!  You might also have to trawl through the "daughter" pages as well.

Below are a couple more:

www.google.nl
www.familysearch.org (the IGI also covers The Netherlands)

If you need to send an email to a Dutch site don't be afraid to write it in English.  I speak Dutch but as soon as they hear my English accent the majority of people always answer in English.  It has become very fashionable in Holland to speak English.
