Question/answer » How do I link a miller in my family tree to a mill?

Is there a miller in your family tree? And do you know in which mill he worked? Then you can link that miller to the mill. For this, Genealogy Online works together with the association De Hollandsche Molen and their website Allemolens.nl.

The Ten Bruggencate number

Every mill in the Netherlands has a unique number: the Ten Bruggencate number. It consists of five digits, sometimes with a letter after it. You can find the number on allemolens.nl.

How to make the link

1. Look up the mill and write down the number.
2. In your family tree program, add a note to the occupation of the miller. Write it exactly like this, in Dutch: Ten Bruggencatenummer 03525 (with your own number).
3. Upload a new GEDCOM file.

Genealogy Online recognises the number. A link to the mill on Allemolens.nl appears on the page of the miller. There the visitor finds photos and the history of the mill.
