Genk, Limburg, Belgium

Where can I find the civil registry records (births, marriages, deaths) for the municipality of Genk, located in the province of Limburg (Belgium)?

Thank you in advance.

I found this page from viewing the FamilySearch Catalog (not updated for a few years). Hopefully, these records might be of some use: https://www.familysearch.org/search/image/index?owc=SPGM-C68%3A1486850202%3Fcc%3D2138507 I tried a few of the links and the material appears to have unrestricted access using a public account.

The FamilySearch Wiki is a good place to begin your search. There are categories for most locations on the planet. https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Limburg%2C_Belgium_Genealogy

And if you start from this page https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2138507 for Limburg, and choose "Browse All" the resulting page will allow you to focus on Genk. https://www.familysearch.org/search/image/index?owc=SPGM-C68%3A1486850202%3Fcc%3D2138507

That's the same page Paul found for you, just coming at it from a different direction.

If you need earlier records, the Church records for the same location are https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/37755

Good luck!
