They also have church parish records that pre-date the censuses that are gradually being copied as well. All of the genealogy websites tap into this data pool.
That all said, things get pretty fuzzy any earlier than about 1800.

My Father went there when he was getting started looking up our family. Ended up getting to 1504 in Rotterdamm Holland and said "thats enough!" The Mormon center has the best all around records from what he told us.
