Question 1
Question 1: Why do some record sets include records of a type other than that described in the set title; i.e., births, deaths, marriages, and divorces may be mixed together? Answer 1: The original records are of mixed type. Birth, marriage and death records are in one book, and in some cases, more than one record type is found on the same page. Not much can be done to resolve that, so the collection was organized with three sets of the same images in numerical order. One set for births, one for deaths and one for marriages. The resulting combination of record sets usually appear alphabetically by type, e.g., Geboorten records appear first, followed by Huwelijken, Overlijden, etc.

Question 2
Question 2: I get a blank screen when I try to view records at Netherlands, Groningen Province, Civil Registration, 1811-1940 &gt; Vlagtwedde &gt; Overlijden 1883-1892. How can I see these records. Answer 2: There is a technical problem seeing the records on-line at this waypoint. The records are available on film 446676. They can be viewed at the Family History Library or some FamilySearch Centers. Call ahead to check if the film is available at your local center.
