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.
