The Digitale Stamboom Monitor is a free service for genealogists who automatically want to receive new additions to the Digitale Stamboom (Dutch for Digital Family Tree) sites of Alkmaar, Amersfoort, Delft, Eindhoven, Kennemerland, Leiden and Rotterdam to complement their genealogy.
The Digitale Stamboom (Dutch for Digital Family Tree) provides data from various Municipal Records Offices and Regional Historic Centres. The city of Delft is the owner of the Digitale Stamboom. Development and maintenance of the Digitale Stamboom is lead by a council in which all participaring archives are represented.
The most important sources for genealogical research which are available on the period before 1811 are the registers of baptisms, marriages and funerals kept by the various churches. After 1811 in the Netherlands it was ordained by law that the municipal authorities should register births, marriages and deaths.
The databases from the various Digitale Stamboom websites are growing! Volunteers add data on a daily basis. The Digitale Stamboom Monitor was - just as the Genlias Monitor - developed to monitor these databases for new records about a family.
The free Digitale Stamboom Monitor service offers you the possibility to define a search profile (maximum of 40 per person). A search profile consists of the inputfields you'd normally enter in the searchform of a Digitale Stamboom website. The first time the Digitale Stamboom Monitor will fetch all records found. Then frequently the same search is executed. If new records are found a notification will be sent to your e-mail address. Results can be downloaded from the Digitale Stamboom Monitor site in HTML, GEDCOM, PDF and Excel format. In this manner you can automatically check up on the most important families in your research!
As extra service, when you have entered one of more searchprofiles, you will be notified of new additions in general to the various Digitale Stamboom websites.
