 well i had to watch it again tonight, as it was so intriguing!!! i like Boris, he is a happy chappy and someone quite normal with a plum in his mouth lol!! i love antiques and have some pieces that i collect called "De Porcelyne Fles" they are made by a factory in Delft Holland and I have been there, some of my pieces are over 100 years old and i wonder who owned them before and the story they could tell, like that family silver that got sold, where is it now?? History is something we all have whether we want it or not! It is interesting, I understand some people may not be interested, because at the end of the day its their choice, but i cant wait to see more of this programme and i want the Antiques Roadshow to come back as well, love that show! Cor i need to get out more LOL !

| What a good thread SquashySue. I'm beginning to feel quite intrigued. My husbands middle name is Dutch. Family gossip says they were pirates from the Fresian Islands. Could be true ! His mother's name was Fanny - his Father refused to call her that and always called her Frances. We have a fabulous collection of photographs going back generations. My husband was born in his grandfathers house. I always knew that but assumed his parents were living there. Jings ! They were only visiting! All the males on my Mother's side of the family were called St Clair. What to make of that !!!!! Maybe I'll have a look into it all.

| ooo Alice, my OH's middle name is dutch too!! and so is my daughter, she is named after MIL! They grew up in Dordretch (cant spell that either), their name was Van de Velde! funny she came here and worked and then met OH dad and married, one of her sisters came over and met the other bro and married him lol!!! She had a huge family of about 16 kids, but some of them are half bros and sisters. We are still in contact with dutch family and some are in their 80's, we lost MIL 7 years ago, but OH dad is 87 now and he came from a large family as well. The stories that MIL told us about the war, were dreadful, but she wouldnt have it any other way, as it made her what she was!
