Amsterdam Census 1852-1853

An excellent database containing more than 600.000 entries on inhabitants of Amsterdam between 1852-1853 was compiled by the late genealogist Dave Verdooner and eager helpers. In memory of his genealogical research achievements (especially with regards to Dutch Jewry), the organization Akevoth for the study of Dutch Jewry decided to host this invaluable database. For anyone with ancestors in 19th century Amsterdam, this database provides plenty of search options :name, address, religion, often also birthdate, date of admission to the city. With a bit of exercice, you will be able to easily reconstruct entire households.
