Two hundred years ago, the Netherlands regained its independence. Between 1813 and 1815 the foundations were laid for our Kingdom, setting in motion the development of our democratic system.
Somewhere around this time Jerome Nicholas Hollander goes to England ,leaving the name Hollander behind ,changing it to Vlieland.
He is then 17 years of age.
Did he had to leave because of the defeat of the French?
Did he not want to be a part of Holland anymore and with a name like Hollander changing his name to Vlieland ?
Or is there another reason ...........we still do not know.
Anyway this is what happened November 30 1813.

Kingdom’s bicentenary celebrations
Two hundred years ago, the Netherlands regained its independence. Between 1813 and 1815 the foundations were laid for our Kingdom, setting in motion the development of our democratic system. We should be proud of what we have achieved together, yet none of it can be taken for granted. Constant efforts are required to maintain and uphold these achievements. That is why the National Committee is organising six national celebratory events between 30 November 2013 and 26 September 2015.- See more at: http://www.200jaarkoninkrijk.nl/content/programme-launch-kingdom%E2%80%99s-bicentenary-celebrations-saturday-30-november-2013#sthash.emRY9pjG.dpuf
