Drenthe Court Records

The Etstoel in Drenthe represented for a long time the highest judicial body in Drenthe. The 24 nets were appointed from the top layer of the yeoman farmers. For genealogists, the list of networks a good addition to the usual sources. H. Bonder has compiled a list of networks (Members of the Etstoel of Drenthe, H. Bonder, Drenthe New People's Almanac, 1917, pg.83). This list is reproduced here, sorted by game thing. Background information is included in the etstoel Introduction.

A number of networks has added a brief family summaries.
