Hello,
My Grandmother is a War Bride from Holland. She came to Canada after WWII leaving her family behind. I have been working on her family tree for some time but one thing she wants to know is how her Grandmother Aafke Bijlsma (van der Mee) passed away. My Grandmother is 89 years old this month and she often asks me if I have found it. I would really like to find this information for her.
I know Aafke's date of death - October 17, 1916 in Leiden. I found that some time ago online, but I don't know where I can find the death record that gives information on how she died. Where would I find this information?? If I have to request a copy from somewhere and have it mailed to me in Canada that is fine, I just don't know how to go about this. I don't speak/read Dutch.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
