On May 14, 1876 in Rotterdam, a request was sent to the Minister of Colonies. Mavelad I, a civil engineer living in Rotterdam, explained that by Royal Decree of February 17, 1893, he had been assigned to work with S. L. Cluysenaer, an engineer in charge of railway operations in Sumatra. Following a decision by the Governor-General of the Dutch Indies in Batavia on December 27, he completed his tasks and returned to the Netherlands, where he sought to work again as an engineer on the Dutch railways.

After the above-mentioned decree, he requested the Governor-General of the Dutch Indies to be placed as an engineer with the railways in Java. This request could not be granted due to a staff shortage. Just before departing for the Netherlands, he learned he could be placed as an engineer with the railways. He therefore requests His Excellency to grant his wish to be employed as an engineer with the railways in the Dutch Indies.

In Nymegen on July 4, 1875, Herman Blogg passed away. His heirs were Nicolaas Blogg, Josephus Blogg, Achilda Johanna Blogg, and Hendrik Vroeke. They were entitled to receive pension payments for July, August, and September 1875. The total amount was 113 guilders and 75 cents. According to a letter to the treasurer in Arnhem from April 8, 1875, it appears no advance payments were made on the pension. The document was filed in Rotterdam on May 14, 1876.

• From 1 January to 31 December 1867
• From 1 January to 31 December 1868

• An Indian decree from 9 November 1846 (No. 14)
• Colonial Department letters from 14 May 1862 and 26 March 1863
• A law from 28 August 1851 (Netherlands State Gazette No. 127) regarding military naval pensions

On December 1, 1867, Herman Blogg, born on August 6, 1818, received a pension after serving in Dutch East Indies. He had worked there for 28 years. His pension was increased by 102 guilders per year, bringing the total to 814 guilders annually. Between May 9, 1864 and June 20, 1865, Blogg spent time in Netherlands on leave after serving more than 15 years in the Dutch East Indies. This leave period did not count towards his service time. For the first six years of his pension, starting from December 1, 1867, a deduction of 28.5 cents would be made annually to settle a sum of 685.66 guilders. Blogg was living in Rotterdam at the time this decision was made.

On January 22, 1668, a document discussed the case of military officer H. Blogg in Dutch East Indies. On November 17, 1867, he was honorably discharged from his position at the state medical supplies warehouse upon his own request.

According to pension regulations for civil servants in the Dutch East Indies (State Gazette 1837), Blogg's service record showed:

• First period: October 1, 1861 to May 8, 1864 (when his active duty salary ended)
• Second period: June 21, 1865 to November 30, 1867

His total service amounted to 28 years and 16 days, according to Article 6 of the civil pension regulations. The documents reference several related administrative decisions from 1862 through 1868.

On November 13, 1897, Jan Hubert Peron, a clerk at the registry office in Sittard, acting on behalf of notary Renderts from Susteren, announced a public sale. The sale was scheduled for November 19, 1897 at the request of the Peeters brothers.

On November 19, 1897 at 11 AM, at the request of farmers Willem Peeters, Herman Pieters, and Jan Hubert Peeters from Susteren, notary Louis Philip Hendrik Pienaerts from Susteren conducted a public sale of trees known as "Kamer" in Susteren.

The sale conditions included:

• Trees sold as-is to the highest bidder
• Buyers responsible for any damage caused by falling trees
• Payment due before October 1, 1898 at the notary's office
• Additional fees: 5 cents per number and 10 cents per guilder for costs
• Trees must be removed before April 1, 1898

The sale included multiple Canada poplar and willow trees, with buyers from various towns including Roosteren, Susteren, Berg, Ohe en Laak, Grevenbich, Echt, and Nieuwstad. The total sale amount was 508 guilders and 50 cents.

The document was witnessed by clerks Amtonius Jacobbus Hubertus Sane and Martinus Beckers from Susteren, and registered in Sittard on November 27, 1897.

• Semon Agboers as helmsman
• Sailors like Jacob Jollan Kinight, Pierre Amos, and Tonis Bonttwij
• Two sailmakers: Cornelés and Davio
• Multiple crew members with various ranks and duties from across the Dutch provinces

• Jacobus Willen Postelse

• Jan Schalleke
• And many other residents of the lordship of Tilburg and Goirle

• Widow Kromhout, born November 20, 1874
• Her children, including one born in Rotterdam on September 18, 1870

• A payment of 1,575 guilders for second-class government passenger transport
• The journey started from Amsterdam and was headed to the Netherlands East Indies
• Two other passengers are mentioned: L.D. Moert and Maurinius J.S.M. Hoppe

On November 4, 1839, a payment was made to the Amsterdam Shipping Company (Stoomvaart Maatschappij Nederland) for passenger transport. The document concerns government passenger transport from Dutch Indies on the steamship "Drente." The ship's commander was L. A. Dareler Moccolesto.

Among the passengers was Bruyne, an inspector of shipbuilding, his wife and children. He was born on January 21, 1676. The payment included a service fee of 125 guilders.

The paperwork was processed by the Ministry of Colonies in The Hague on November 9, 1889.

On June 24, 1789, several condemned persons from the Council of Justice were sent away from Samarang. Among them were:

• Javanese people: Sie Proijo, Siedin, Singoro, Robo, Singkono, Sie Kromo, Wiero Carto, and Tana Soetro
• Javanese women: Wanjo, Sie Sanem, and Sabia
• Chinese people: Sjoubie and Hokseeng from Tarnakan
• A Makassarese woman: Noressa
• A Bugis person: Somo
• Two slaves: Stam and Roosje
• A Christian woman: Njonja Maria

The first six people were sentenced to 25 years. The next 11 were permanently banished. The last one was to be confined in the women's house in Batavia.

The ships De Vreede and Hoorn arrived on May 16 and 18. They would depart the next day to the eastern corner carrying 200 soldiers (3 had died during the journey) to Makassar, and would load wood at Gresik for Batavia.

The document was signed by Jan Greeve, J. van Santen, L. H. Vermehr, A. C. Senn van Bazel, B. J. van Nijvenheim, A. L. Palm, B. van der Worm, C. G. Fisscher, and F. J. Rothenbuhler.

In Tutecorin, the head of the post wrongfully charged extra fees on cloth. For Guinean cloth, he took half a fanam extra per piece, and for Salampore cloth, half a fanam for every three pieces. He justified this by claiming the money was needed to pay 84 fanams monthly to guards (lascorins) at the bleaching fields and at his residence. These payments were not recorded in the Company's books.

Additionally, each bale of washed cloth sent from this location was charged 3 fanams under the false pretense of paying guards at the bleaching fields. The guards never received this money - instead, the head of the post kept it all for himself, thereby enriching himself dishonestly with Company capital that was entrusted to him under oath.

In the last six months, this fraudulent charging of washing fees and guard payments amounted to 405 pardaus. This money, collected by the warehouse master on the head's orders, has been temporarily seized and placed in the Company's small treasury, pending approval from higher authorities.

On October 17, 1894, Alphonse Paul Delforterie, a retired military officer, wrote a letter to the Ministry of Colonies in The Hague. He complained that when he presented his attestation of life to the paymaster in Utrecht, a sum of 49.84 guilders was withheld from his quarterly payment. He stated that he had received no notification from the Ministry about any deductions from his wages. He respectfully requested information about the amount being withheld and why he wasn't informed about this deduction. The letter was processed in The Hague on October 28, 1894.

A military document discusses Charles Joseph Aomanne, service number 29094, who departed for Dutch East Indies on September 18, 1875 on the ship 'Fampton'. The record indicates that if someone is not in Batavia, letters are forwarded through military authorities.

A French consular document from Liège, dated October 17, 1890, inquires about Mathieu Comanne, an overseer in Weltevreden, Dutch East Indies. His last letter to relatives in Montegnée (Liège) was dated November 29, 1893. A letter sent to him two months later was returned marked "unknown," which was surprising since he had been in the Dutch East Indies for ten years.

On January 24, 1917, three marriages were registered in Amsterdam:

On May 11, 1868, the mayor of Schoendijke wrote about a person named Gelles Leeweld who asked for overnight accommodation on December 3, 1867. Based on information from the hotel registry where he was directed to stay, he had come from Sluis that day and departed to Dreskens on December 2. During his stay, he mentioned that he had been at the stagecoach in Brugge, where he had fallen ill and was treated in a hospital. He intended to seek admission to a hospital in either Vlissingen or Middelburg.

A letter from 's Gravenhage dated November 28, 1868 inquires about the whereabouts of military serviceman G. Kieweld, who was issued a passport on July 19, 1867. Since he was found in Schoendijke in December 1867 seeking hospital admission in Vlissingen or Middelburg, they requested to investigate if he was still in these municipalities.
