introduction from Zeeland middelburg johannes

Post by johannes »

Hallo my name is johannes and live in zeeland the netherlands,

Our local godess is Nehalennia.
wikipedia says: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehalennia

https://godenvaneigenbodem.com/nehalennia/ says:
There is much speculation about the worship of Nehalennia.
As far as we know, the goddess had two temples: one at Domburg and one at Colijnsplaat. The temple in Domburg seems to have had a more religious focus - here also finds of other gods, such as Neptunus, Victoria and Burorina - and those at Colijnsplaat are more focused on trade: here the dedicants of the votive stones also mentioned their merchandise.

I feel Oera Linda can give some answers to this, as zeeland was the south of frysland then.

Hi Johannes welcome.
I was born in next to Middelburg.
Zeeland is very important in world history.
New Zealand was named after Zeeland.
The family Roosevelt came from Middelburg and became president of the united state twice. Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt and many more famous people came from Zeeland like Michiel de Ruyter
Also look at Neger Zeeuws which was spoken 100's of years ago in the caribian area.
Go to Veere and look in the kronieken .... very interesting.
The Zeeuwen were also Frisian. Look at Magna Frisia and you will see you live in the south of it.


I hope you will find this handy in your search

Hello,
To my knowledge “de Roosevelts” come from “de hoeve op het Rozenveld, te Poortvliet, between the village Poortvliet and the village Oud-Vossemeer.
I’m curious why you seem to think they come from Middelburg!
Maybe you would like to explain?

My post was meant as a reaction to Jeppe. With this reaction I could reply to you, but it seems I can’t reply to Jeppe’s post. Do you know where or how should I do that?
