Hello English Wikipedians,
I'm Dutch and I wondered if I could help expanding and keeping up the Netherlands portal/articles about the Netherlands/Dutch language.
I could also deliver you some nice pictures of Amsterdam, de Zaanse Schans, and others.
So if you need to know something about Holland, please ask, it does not especially have to be for Wikipedia.
Hey guys i just finished translation this page from the dutch wikipedia, but its still in a pretty bad state. So if you can help out, please do so! Omegastar (talk) 22:11, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am a proud Dutch woman who lives in the United States. My maiden name is VanEngen. That is the americanized version. Through my genealogy research I have learned that the correct spelling is "vanIngen". I was told that "van" means "from" so I want to know more about the village of Ingen. I would love to share more about my family line with someone who knows what I am speaking of! I can be reached at "jodiwalder@comcast.net".
I hope to hear from someone!!
