Many of our Muskegon/Dutch ancestors originated from the province of Groningen, the Netherlands. There is a great website <genlias.nl> that includes data taken directly from the Civil Registers in the Netherlands–marriages for all of Groningen are online along with many deaths and births are coming. They date from 1811 and several of the other provinces date even earlier. I have found that some deaths even give a birth date, which is often before 1811.
Death records from the Civil Register enter the public domain after 50 years, marriage records after 75 years and birth records after 100 years.
The site is in Dutch, but can also be accessed in English by a click of your mouse. Try it, you will like it. It has a fantastic search engine. Genlias is a joint product of the regional history centers and state archives in the Netherlands. I have no connection and only offer it as great resource. Below you will find a paste /copy example for one of our family marriages so you can see the possibilites.
