Archives and Libraries


Belgium is a great place to do family history research because of the country's large number of archives, libraries and other repositories. A variety of records can also be found locally at registry offices, courthouses, public libraries, historical societies and elsewhere. Websites like Ancestry.com, Findmypast, MyHeritage, and FamilySearch also provide access to many unique online databases relating to Belgian genealogy.
In addition to these great resources, we have compiled a large number of links that should prove helpful to your search. Many of these are listed below and on our other pages relating to all parts of Belgium. If you would like a professional genealogist to help you with your quest, please click below.
