"White Pages" /people search in Netherlands?
 

Does anyone know of a website where I could try to locate someone (address or email) I knew a long time ago in the Netherlands? Thank you.

Grandmere, this is the website for the national telephone directory:
http://www.telefoongids.ptt-telecom.nl/
It seems to be only in Dutch. You can fill in name (naam) and hometown (woonplaats).
Have a go; you might get lucky. If you need any help, post another message.

I think the city is 'S Gravenhage; can that be correct, Tulip?
The site did not work well for me. I'll try again and let you know what message I did not understand.

Thanks very much.

You might also try http://www.infobel.com/netherlands/ which is in English.
's-Gravenhage will probably be listed as "Den Haag".

Myriam, I was able to get an address and phone number with your site; thank you.

Another question for you and perhaps Tulip, too.

The entry read: Doe, drs JR (not real name, obviously)

Does this mean that there are 2 Dr. J. R.Does at this residence? I don't even know if Dr. refers to "doctor" in Dutch.

Thanks again for any help!

Drs. J.R. Doe = one person with 2 first names. Drs (doctorandus) is the same as bachelor-master.

Tulips, please correct me if I'm wrong!

That makes sense; I didn't think it referred to an "MD", but didn't know what it meant. Thank you!

Another question: would mail be addressed Drs John R. Doe or John R. Doe, drs. (It was not capitalized in the web directory) Mille fois merci!

The drs. comes first!

Myriam is absolutely right!

Thank you both, Tulips and Myriam; guess I'll give it a try.
