Subject: [LLL] A weekend with a Brabanter

Hallo Group,



I’m still down here in Austin, Texas helping with my cousins and all as I
haven’t told you... I’ve birded out on a lot a crap like that over this last
month plus...



My paternal aunt’s maid of honor married a Dutchman. His name is Maarten-Jan
Waasdorp. He’s originally from Breeda in the Brabant area(?). He lived in
Utrecht before coming stateside. His Dutch is very Hollander to me as a
total outsider to the Dutch community. I wasn’t able to get any Brabantisch
out of him though. What do his name, surname and place of birth tell yall
who are from that a way?



Missing the dry heat,



Ben
