If you wanted to order this film, the film number below is what you would give to the little old lady to order for you! Then they will call when the microfilm comes in and you will have some excitement.

Now, I assume they photocopy the microfilm, rather than sending the film itself, yes?

Akten van nalatenschappen inv. nr. J 1727-1801 Inventarissen en boedelpapieren inv. nr. L 1584-1811 Boelgoeden inv. nr. O 1807,1810 Publicaties van verkopingen en verhuringen inv. nr. P 1807,1810 Proclamatieboeken inv. nr.

Which essentially is: "Deeds of estates inv. nr. J 1727-1801 Inventories and (something - laundry?) papers inv. nr. L 1584-1811 business goods inv. nr. O 1807,1810 Publications of auctions and rents inv. nr. Pen 1807,1810 proclamation book inv. nr."

Edam

I get one option:
Netherlands, Noord-Holland, Edam
Which meshes with what I know about Edam. And also the fact that according to the Cheese People all 24 pictures are ladies from Noord-Holland.

Hmm, no direct "Court Records" link. I get:

Netherlands, Noord-Holland, Edam - Archives and libraries - Inventories, registers, catalogs
Netherlands, Noord-Holland, Edam - Church records
Netherlands, Noord-Holland, Edam - Church records - Inventories, registers, catalogs
Netherlands, Noord-Holland, Edam - Civil registration
Netherlands, Noord-Holland, Edam - Notarial records
Netherlands, Noord-Holland, Edam - Taxation

Under "Civil Registration" I get:

Registers van de Burgerlijke Administratie, 1581-1811 Edam (Noord-Holland). Schepenbank

Roughly:
Records of the Middle-class Administration, 1581-1811
These are apparently marriage and death records.

Hah, the Notarial records look more promising. The 1574-1575 film is apparently in the vault:

VAULT INTL Film 999276

And wow, the Court records for Oudendijk go back to 1357. There are films and films of them. Yipes!

Enkhuisen isn't bad either.

So I guess my question is, HOW to I contact someone in regards to obtaining materials and WHAT exactly do I get?
