Your nation has a secrecy law that probably prevents relatives discovering relatives. I have been trying for twelve years to learn of the whereabouts of a great Dutchman called Theo Mensink, BSc. A great mind and a great personality. He was an Engineer in transportation planning in the new town of Milton Keynes.(UK) He is a man I greatly admire. I have moved about a bit and ended up in Bretagne, France. Never-the- less, I have still tried to contact him. If anyone knows where he might be contacted, could you possibly e-mail me. His son was a small blonde person conceived after the adoption of a wonderful east indies daughter. I have spent so long being frustrated by these Dutch laws that I am beginning to develop a giant animosity towards the Dutch authorities. Please!!!!! Help, Help! Help! There were some friends - Karel van Heuvelen (probably mis-spelled (Heufelen) and ????? van der Sterra -( Sterrer) (also probably mis- spelled. His wife was Bena Blaze Mensink -I called her the amazing BB. She had a most ferocious kick with her clogs. (ouch) Maybe some-one remembers the black beans feasted on when everyone met together and the very old geneva????????????????????? Help people -- Help Regards Anthony Barden
