@N Tychonievich for the list https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QLMV-DZWB 📋️

"Amstelveen, North Holland, Netherlands" must be "Nieuwer-Amstel, North Holland, Netherlands". This is wrongly indexed in almost every source before 1964.

Additional info: Bevor 1964 "Amstelveen" was called "Nieuwer-Amstel", which wasa larger municipality as the modern Amstelveen. In 1964 parts of Nieuwer-Amstel were added to the municipality of Amsterdam. The remaining rest became the name Amstelveen.
