Is it possible to view the page number shown on the index of the Kerkelijke Registers?
Roman Catholic parish registers of Oostende, West Flanders, Belgium.

I can see the name of DeKeyser, Maria 1642 page 135 I believe, but I have no idea how to get to that page and hopefully see more detail about Maria. Thank You!!

    I read page 351 for Maria DeKeyser, not 135.

     

    I checked both the FS Catalog (https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/141732?availability=Family%20History%20Library) and the Belgian Archives, and there are no original baptism records from before 1759. That means that since the Index was made, the pre-1759 records were either destroyed or have been returned to the parish (note that in Belgium and Netherlands, the Napoleonic regime confiscated all church records, and some have been returned by the State with apologies)

     

    I suggest contacting either the State Archives of Belgium about this, or you could try and find contact details for the Catholic parish in Oostende.
