Did you find/have any problems?: tie in to unlinked branch
Comments:
Astrid: previously I left a note that Lena Smouter and Elisabeth Smouter were sisters #12051 and #1205 of the unlinked Smouter branches. Recesent viewing of the Heinenoord and Piershil NHK records by microfilm show that they were the only childern of Jacob Smoute by his forth wife, Annigje Hak. Two prior marriage registrations list Jacob Bastiaans Smouter born Piershil. Jacob is listed as the son of Bastiaan Smouter and Jannetje Simons van Luttervelt, born 3 Aug 1760 ar Piershil. The marriage registration for Bastiaan(1758) indicates a prior marriage to Anna Bastiaans Dekker in 1754 and he is listed as a JM born in Rijso rd (JM presumed to mean jonge man ie. less than 25 years of age). This makes bastiaan the likely son of Klaas (Geenen) Smouter, who was born 1732 in Rijsoord. No patronym is given in the marrige registrations for either marriages of Bastiaan, or the bapt sm registrations for the two children from each marriage; Email me if intersted in all the details.

A wonderfully informative yet humorous page. The Netherlands are my country of origin and I would like to visit someday. I have seen some of the architecture of the building. Especially in Amsterdam, not only is it beautiful. It is something you would never find in the US. The skyscrapers would crowd them out.

I'll write this in Dutch; if you can't read that ask me for a translation. Smouter: een vierde betekenis is misschien interessant voor jullie. Een smout-molen is een oliemolen en een smoutslager is een olieslager. Gezien het deel van Nederland waar jullie vandaan komen, is het beroep van (olie)molenaar niet zo'n vreemde gedachte Groeten, Gerard Straathof

I'll be monitoring keystone and indicator bird species in some of our region's forest remnants, as a case study for Council's State of the Environment report over the next couple of weeks. I'm keen to learn more about your PHD research on phenology and bird populations. I would like to create an Ecologists hotline between the Manawatu-Wanaganui Regional Council and and the Wanganui Conservancy. Have you (f.ex.) got digital information on DoC's latest projects (mainland islands) and data (threatened species)? Cheers, Hella.

Liked the general look of the page Astrid, and loved the photos. Just one thing: on my browser (IE4) on full screen, the "right margin" leaf border is about 2/3rds the way across the screen, and obscures the text. Perhaps the left margin is enough? (i , don't repeat it for the "right" (in my case, right of centre) border?)
Hope I have fixed the above problem, if not somebody please let me know.

Thanks anyway for a quick glimpse of part of your wonderful country.
