GOTHA is an independent directory of royal and noble families. It is not affiliated with, and does not represent, the Almanach de Gotha or its publishers.
This page is about the historical Almanach de Gotha, the yearly directory printed in Gotha from 1763 or 1764 until the last Perthes edition of 1944 (see our history of the Almanach de Gotha). Back to the House of Orange-Nassau page.

The House of Orange-Nassau in the historical Almanach de Gotha, 1871–1923
This page traces how the House of Orange-Nassau appears across the editions of the Almanach de Gotha held as OCR scans by GOTHA, from 1871 to 1923 [1]. It uses only two things: GOTHA's table of house appearances, built by parsing those scans, and the scans themselves [1]. Nothing is filled in from other sources.
What the editions show
- Editions found: 44 (1871, 1872, 1874, 1875, 1876, 1877, 1878, 1879, 1880, 1882, 1883, 1884, 1885, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1889, 1892, 1893, 1894, 1895, 1897, 1898, 1899, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1917, 1919, 1921, 1922, 1923) [1].
- Printed heading: the house is entered under “Pays-Bas” [1]. These are the headings as printed (and as read by OCR), not GOTHA's names for the house.
- Part: in 42 of the 44 editions, the page's running head places the entry in the Almanach's Part I; in 2 the running head was not found near the entry [1]. "Part I" here is the edition's own printed division, cited to the line of the running head; it is not one of GOTHA's own house categories.
- The sovereign named: each quote was checked by hand on 1 November 2026 against the OCR text in sources/ocr (the scan images themselves are linked in the sources). A quote is kept only where the line is the entry of the reigning head as printed; lines that caught another family member, the founder, a succession clause or a note were removed. Quotes are raw OCR: letters and regnal numbers may be misread, and those rows are marked ⚠.
Note on sources. OCR misreads letters (for example "Liechteiistein" for Liechtenstein). GOTHA's appearance table was corrected on 1 November 2026; its part tags now agree with the printed running head in every row where both exist; this page follows the running head and cites its line. Rows marked ⚠ carry a visible OCR doubt.
