Editing Luger Noord (section)

== Career ==
Noord began working at the civil registry section of the municipal administration in Rotterdam in 1986. As a junior clerk, he received applications and located the corresponding birth records. Certificate copies were then prepared for review by senior staff.

In 1988, he transferred to the municipal registry office in Vriendendam, where he divided his work between the public counter and the records room. He processed requests for copies of birth certificates at the counter. In the records room, he sorted older registry files and prepared folders for review. His work also covered family registration records and identity documentation used by local authorities, with address records forming part of the files he handled.

From 1989 to 1991, Noord concentrated on older birth records. He located missing certificate copies and checked their registry references. Material was then prepared for residents requesting older civil documents.

Walter Noord founded the [[Stichting Noord Registratiebureau]] in 1991.<ref name="bureau-history"/> Luger joined the organization in the same year as a civil documentation worker. During its early years, he helped establish the bureau's filing system in Vriendendam by arranging older civil papers according to family name and registry number. Birth-certificate and family-registry material was incorporated into the archive, while Noord also processed document requests submitted to the bureau.

In 1996, Noord became a registry file clerk. He handled cases in which registry information was missing or contradictory, along with files containing incomplete certificate copies. His internal notes recorded the source and registry number of each document before identifying the part of the record that required further review.

Noord moved to the bureau's certificate review desk in 2001. He compared submitted copies of birth certificates and family records with material already held in the archive. Older municipal extracts were also examined during these reviews. When documentation was incomplete, he requested additional material from the person or office that had submitted the file.

In 2004, Noord became a senior file worker. His cases included older birth-certificate and family-registry material from Rotterdam and Vriendendam. He also trained newer clerks in the bureau's filing system and archive procedures. During the 2010s, much of his work concerned long-running file reviews and older registry material. He prepared document summaries and checked certificate references before files were passed to Walter or another senior member of staff. Noord remained part of the bureau's administrative staff after 2020.
