Hi Debbie,
I speak Dutch. My DH is Dutch and yes, that is the street address.
I've heard of Geertruidenberg but don't remember exactly where it's
located. By the way, I enjoy the list. I'm a warbride granddaughter.
My dad was born in Bristol where my gram is from. We all now live in
Pennsylvania.
Have a great day and if I can help with any other "Dutch Stuff" just let
me know!
~ Tammy

Hi Trisha and all

I've been able to help Rosolynn with the name of this lady. However if
anyone was on the Mauretania voyage leaving Liverpool in August 1946 and
remembers any of the Dutch girls on board, perhaps they might get in
touch?

Likewise, does anyone on this list understand Dutch? If you do, please
could
you translate this section of the address 'Centralweg 30'. Is that a
street
address? The town was Geertruidenberg. If you know the town, I'd be very
glad to hear from you too.

Thank you for your help!
