Was the Dutch intelligence service interested in your ancestors?
 The General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) has transferred some 71,000 files from the period 1946 – 1998 to the National Archives. These are personal files of the former Central Security Service (CVD) and the National Security Service (BVD). Both services are predecessors of the AIVD. The personal files are files in which information is recorded about persons in whom the CVD and the BVD have been interested.
The names of some 33,598 files have not been anonymised. It concerns persons born between 1886 and 1921. You can now easily search this collection on Open Archives! The result is the correct inventory number within archive 2.04.125 at the National Archives.
Only a few files can be viewed immediately. The vast majority of files have a disclosure restriction of 75 years. For inspection, a request can be submitted to the National Archives. The request is tested against a few conditions; there is permission from the person concerned, the person concerned has died or there is a research proposal. This is to protect the privacy of the persons being investigated.
