What is genealogy?

The East Brabant Family History Working Group has almost all genealogical data from 1574 to 1900 from the parishes between Leuven, Aarschot, Diest and Tienen.

Genealogy:

  • Genealogy is also known as family science or sibling science.
  • Those who want to compile their family tree look first in their own archives, then in civil status registers.
  • Family records before 1800 can be found almost exclusively in parish records.
  • Family science is enjoying increasing success in Flanders.
  • Our working group transfers the parish records of Flemish East Brabant into databases and makes the data available in the form of books.
