Resources for researching Dutch ancestors are listed at Dutch Archives, with a "howto" of wiewaswie and zoekakten. Zoekakten is the site I use to get images of original certificates found on familysearch. That's how I located the image of your great grandmother.
I noticed you frequently use wiewaswie when researching Dutch ancestors. Starting this month only very basic searching (no wildcards, no dual names) will be offered free. Advanced searching requires a subscription (18,50 per year). I will get a subscription anyway, so if you need help just let me know. A thing you may have missed on wiewaswie is that you can query the inventory by place name (dutch version only(!)): WatZit ErIn (WhatsInIt). So for instance you can see there are NO birth records for Nibbixwoud (your Haring profiles). Images of these birth certificates can be obtained though by searching familysearch.
I'd like to invite you to our "Weekend Chat" post on the G2G forum!
