Listers,

I have been sent the following info by another genealogist - perhaps it
will be of interest to some of you folk :-

> - Dutch Indies Genealogical Association Goes Online
>
> The Dutch East Indies, now known as Indonesia, has a long and
> colorful history. The Dutch Indies Genealogical Association or,
> more properly, The Indische Genealogische Vereniging has been in
> operation for ten years and has become very active. The IGV
> publishes a quarterly magazine called "De Indische Navorscher." It
> also has published genealogies of many Dutch families that lived
> in the Dutch East Indies. Now the IGV have set up a Web site to
> further their publicity and information efforts.
>
> Would someone you know be interested in this?
>
> The IGV publishes the "Indisch Repertorium", a general index of
> family names to be found in genealogical or related publications
> concerning both the Dutch East Indies and Dutch West Indies, which
> have appeared over the past 70 years. It also publishes a series
> called "Bronnenpublikaties" (Publications of original sources).
>
> The Web site does not have online copies of these documents.
> However, it does have a searchable database. With this database
> you can find out if something has been published about a certain
> family (title of the publication, author, page number). The site
> also provides information about how to research Dutch East Indies
> ancestry. The Dutch Indies Genealogical Association Web site is
> published both in Dutch and in English. For more information, look
> at: http://www.igv.nl

> My thanks to Marco R. Visser for the information on this
> interesting Web site.
