This search form concerns itself with stock trading.

Here, you can search for the trade in company shares, from one person to another. By entering any name in the above searchfield, you will see every instance of the person in question being involved in any stock trade, regardless of their role. Be it buyer, seller, or broker.

By specifying the company name, you may narrow down which shares are of interest to you.

Like in the other search forms, you might filter any given person further using their title or political office.

Location or date can further narrow down the place or period of interest.

Notes:

• You do not need to fill out every search input! Simply use those that are interesting for answering your own question(s).
• Most sources do not reveal all parameters, which leads to "unspecified" entries.
• There is no option to enter days when searching for a specific date, because the searchfield would then require you to provide one, even if you do not have this information. Searching for a month is a quick way to narrow your results down to a fairly managable number, especially when paired with other parameters. Using the date range you might be as specific or as general in your date search as you wish.
• When defining a date range, make sure to always set the starting date to the last day of the month prior to the first month you are interested in; e.g.: if you wish to search for subscriptions/stock trades/etc. between the 1st of August 1720 and the 1st of November 1720, the first date must be the 31st of July 1720. This is because the database automatically sets the day to "00" if it is unknown. This means that entries from August for which the day is unknown will not be found if you begin your search on the 1st.
