Roobol in the censuses of 1947 and 2007
In 1947 a census was held in the Netherlands, unfortunately the data are not accessible for genealogists. There has been published a series of books though, the Nederlands Repertorium van Familienamen, in which one can look up per province how many inhabitants with a certain surname there were, listed per town. In 1947 there were a total of 275 Roobols, 226 Roodbols, and 1 Roodbal living in the Netherlands.
The Meertens Institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences has published maps where one can see how the Roobols were distributed in the Netherlands:
