The interface is in English. The record itself stays in Dutch, exactly as the archive holds it, so your citation points to the original.

Dutch records, written the Dutch way.

Clerks wrote names as they heard them, and a man could turn up under every given name he had. Pecktree's own index of Dutch archives searches spelling variants and the name a person actually went by.

It also searches in steps: first with partner and parents, then across the lifespan, the places already in your tree and the records an index left undated. Patronymics get a pass of their own.
