Dear all,

As part of the Open Culture Data initiative in the Netherlands (www.opencultuurdata.nl/about) a local archive in the Netherlands released genealogical data to the public domain, using a CC-0 waiver.

More details can be found here: http://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=en&sl=nl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opencultuurdata.nl%2Fwiki%2Fregionaal-archief-leiden-genealogische-data%2F (Using Google Translate)

Best,

Maarten
