Dear All,<br>
<br>
My friends ask me, is it likely that someone with the position of
"Camerareer" in Utrecht
would be Dutch? Their ancestors are called 'Pot' or 'Potts' - a surname
which could be from many parts of the world - this is one of the passages I
have (attempted) to translate:<br>
<br>
Men vergelijke over het verblijf der Engelsche kooplieden te Utrecht den
volgenden post uit de rekening van den eersten cameraer Jacob Pot, 1465-66:
Item so Jan die Waell Claesson dat strifcampt gecoft heft op seker loen van den
lakenen van strijcken te hebben ende dan daernboven den Engelschen vrijheyt
gegeven is bij den rade, dat Jan voirseid tot afterdeell compt, zo is hem voir
dien scade van desen jair bij den oversten gegeven<br>
<br>
(Dr HJ Smit, Bronnen Tot de Geschiedenis van den Handel met Engeland Schotland
en Ierland, 1150-1485, 2 Volumes, Martinus Nijhoff, 1928)<br>
<br>
Bedankt!<br>
<br>
