Sarah, was just looking at the Stamboon site ... but obviously cannot understand it!
A friend was asking me a couple of days ago about tracing a burial (of an English ancestor) in Holland, circa 1800 - would anything like that be covered on that site - or do you have any advice as to where she should look.

Elaine, the one you found looks like a collection of genealogy links.
Stamboom means Family Tree in Dutch.
I think Lizz is probably referring to one of the "Digitale Stamboom" sites, but I'm afraid I can't remember which one I referred her to. :o
There are several "Digitale Stamboom" (or Digital Family Tree) sites run by different records offices, which make BMD transcriptions available online. Copies from the registers can then be purchased through the sites, or in some cases scans can be downloaded.
I've listed the Digitale Stamboom/Digital Family Tree sites and other sites with online BMDs in the Wiki: The Netherlands - Family Tree Forum
Elaine, do you know what part of the country your friend's ancestor would have been buried in? There is no site covering the whole country, although THEMATIS ~ Erfgoed portaal will search multiple sites simultaneously.
If you want to give me the name of the person your friend is looking for I'd be happy to have a look.
Thanks Sarah.
She is an FTF member - although not sure she will find her way to this thread! I directed her to all the wiki links and she was going to work through some of them.
I don't have the details but will be seeing her again next week so will ask her if she has found anything ... I may well be back!
OK Elaine, you know where to find me.
Civil registration in the Netherlands started in 1811. So records earlier than that would be in parish registers. Depending on what part of the country the person was from, that information may or may not already be available online.
I should point out that women are recorded by their maiden name, and that Dutch death records usually do not include the cause of death, except sometimes in cases of an epidemic. But for records before 1811 you would be looking for a burial entry rather than a death entry anyway.
