Representatives from Haren, 1830-1921

The list of the representatives from Haren is based on the information extracted from the Almanachs royaux, and also from the municipal administrative archives as Council’s minutes or ledgers of Haren. The personal data come from parish registers, civil status records and population census records.

The municipal representatives from Haren were apparently affiliated with the Catholic party and so researches were made in the kadoc’s archives (Documentatie- en Onderzoekscentrum voor Religie, Cultuur en Samenleving). Results were not conclusive.
