<div>> BTW: she also was very superstitious, and I find the same still today
with my relatives from the Lunenburg-area.<br>Very different here, in the
marshlands. People here always had to calculate the rules of the sea, e.g. the
tides, the height of spring tide, with and without the wind coming from a
certain direction etc. They always knew: if you don't build the dikes
highly enough no ghost or God would save you from being drowned! Additional the
open artificial landscape doesn't give much chances for 'trolls' and other
mysterious creatures to hide themselves..<br>>For the same reasons people
here never have been very religious; their fight against all types of
constrained christianity, always hand in hand with nobility and authority
endured till the 19th century and still results in a distinctive free
thinking.<br><br><font color="#000080" face="Arial">Hey Jonny, dat vaalt mi'j op !
Ik docht dat et bi'j oons krek aandersomme is: in de hiele streek van
Noord-Grunningen en Noord-Frieslaand op de klei langs de hiele Waddenkust wonen
neffens mi'j juust een hiele protte geleuvige meensken, meerstal Griffemeerd
Protestaans. Juust in dat vlakke laand ziej' daor al hiel in de veerte de grote
- haost wat lompe - karketorens boven alles uut stikken. Ok de bewoners van de
Waddeneilanen (Schiermonniksoge, Amelaand, Terschelling, Vlielaand, Texel) bin
bi'j mien weten beheurlik 'an de karke'! Onder eren op Amelaand wonen naost de
Griffermeerden en Hervormden ok een protte Kattelieken trouwens. Ja, dat kan
hier gewoon...!</font></div>
