Before that, important life events were recorded by church authorities in baptism, marriage and burial books (DTB books). In Aalten and Bredevoort, these registers were mainly kept by the Dutch Reformed Church (later the Dutch Reformed Church). In addition, Catholic baptismal records are available of the <a href=\"https:\/\/oudaalten.nl\/religie\/kerken\/kruiskapel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cross Chapel<\/a> in Hemden from 1706 onwards. These DTB registers are an indispensable source for genealogical research in the period before 1811.    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, DTB books are not always complete; Some books have been lost and the registration was not equally systematic everywhere. Moreover, in different places, these registers were started at different times. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-accent-2-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beschikbare-dtb-boeken\">Available DTB books<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Aalten (NDG):<\/strong> Baptism and marriage from 1665, death\/burial from 1762.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Bredevoort (NDG):<\/strong> Baptisms and marriages from 1638\/1639.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Shirts (RK):<\/strong> Baptisms from 1706 onwards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:65%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-doopboeken\">Baptismal books<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contain the name of the person baptized, date of baptism and often the names of the parents and sometimes the witnesses.
