Genealogy of the Netherlands and Scotland? How can you find a place to get a genealogy professionals, particularly in Europe in Scotland and the Netherlands?
Dutch genealogists regularly need a minimum equal to U.S. $ 750-1000 just to take a project from another country. So be careful in your choice of researchers. There are no guarantees and their hourly rate is much more than you're used to in the rest of the world. If you want to try it yourself, however, the majority of it is available through the Netherlands the archives online http://www.genlias.nl/en/page0.jsp
The only group not participating is Amsterdam. Otherwise, you can usually find records of 1400 without much problem and you're in Noord Holland, you can use the land records and deeds to go back to 1100. They're kind enough to provide information on obtaining the original site as well.
Find a professional researcher in any country is best done through a service that pre-screens professional genealogists so you know you get someone familiar with the country or countries you are doing research. APGEN is one of the best resources. http://www.apgen.org/
The Dutch organization GBC, Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie (Central Bureau of Genealogy), has a list of Dutch pedigree on their website:
