Theory and Practice
Theory and practice is our motto for today.
The search for Jeroen Nicolaas Hollander, or as he becomes in later life Jerome Nicholas Vlieland is helped by the Hollander familywebsite.
All knowledge of the Hollander name is there to be found and we are positive that someone, someday will find out more about him or the birthdate and place of his father Jan Jans Hollander.
His marriage was in 1785 in Amsterdam so he could be born about 1760.
So that was the theory and now the practice.
We found on the internet the book Jerome Nicholas Vlieland wrote.
It is not only on the internet after 200 years but also read out loud .
So after all these years you can learn German with your own greatgreatgreatgrandfather.
Maybe all his other books will follow.
I am looking forward to ` dancing with Jerome `where he teaches us to waltz.
But now we start with Theory and Practice.

Frederick William Day ,23 cabman,was indicted for having stolen a watch and chain and earring,value 7l 10s, the goods of Emily Vlieland.-In october last year the prosecutrix, a young woman of rather attractive appearance made the acquaintance of the prisoner at a dancing academy and they subsequently`walked out`as engaged.
He knowing that she was possesed of some money induces her to lend him some towards the purchase of a horse and cab,and she afterwards gave him a portion of her jewellery in order to make up a sufficient sum.
In April last the prisoner called to see her and she then had in her hand a gold watch and chain which he asked her for in order to raise more money so as to let to their earlier marriage:but she declined to let him have them,as they have been bequeathed to her by her mother,who was dead.
She had occasion to leave the room for a few minutes,and on her return the prisoner had disappeared with the watch and chain:and although information had been given to the police, the prisoner was not arresteduntil the beginning of this month.when it was found that he had pledged the property and exchanged the duplicate for some harness.
