CarPark site will provide -regularly updated/controlled-
links of mainly Dutch and Belgian genealogical, cultural, historical,
linguistical and topographical websites. Texts and information about the
Netherlands and Belgium that might be relevant to non-Dutch speaking genealogists,
will be available here too. Almost all links to the Dutch and Belgian
pages that I have listed are for websites which are -at least partly-
written in English. |

Persons,
researchers who want professional help for historical and/or genealogical
research in the Netherlands, basic or extensive look-ups in (specialized)
libraries or archives should definitely visit the 'Dutch
Archives historical research bureau'. This excellent, professional
site is in Dutch and English. The leader of this bureau -situated in Leiden-
is highly qualified: visit the site to get an idea! To find a street,
village or town in almost all European countries, use the "Mappy-Road
Guide" or Map24. Last bnl: to be kept informed about Dutch news and historical, social and cultural info I can recommend the Radio Netherlands Worldbroadcast- and the Dutch News Headlines sites. |

Mind the difference between the Belgian province of Luxembourg and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Also note that both Belgium and the Netherlands have provinces with identical names: Limburg and Brabant (although in the Netherlands the province of Brabant is called Noord-Brabant officially). To complicate things even further: there has been a 'Grafschaft Limburg' (County of Limburg) in Germany (not to be confused with the town of Limburg, NE of Frankfurt at the Mainz)! |

| I'm not a confirmed pacifist (I now and then would like to
kick somebody's ass...) but I'm absolutely not supporting the majority of
wars which are fought out all over the world for often so dubious reasons
or motives. Personally I prefer to share my relatively wealth (I live in
the rich western world you know) with those who don't have the means and
possibilities I can literally swim in). I have for instance, together with my deceased wife committed myself to the financial support of a young African child, Chikumbutso Phiri, who's living in a SOS-Kinderdorf in Malawi and an SOS village in Tschjaad. I'm absolutely not proud of it, rather happy to be able to do this. If just a small percentage of my visitors would like to fight the war against terrorism and all other ongoing wars or those to come just a little bit different, by supporting our less fortunate brothers and sisters or those brave man and women who dedicate their life to this purpose, I would be more than happy. Below I have gathered some organizations you might want to support. It's not a sin to be rich, but it is stupid and cruel not to share it with those who are suffering. And, if you would like to share your experiences with me: feel free to do so! |
| NB: SUPPORT WHILE YOU READ! A very comfortable way to support projects in Africa is by reading the socially engaged detective novels of the Swedish author Henning Mankell. His books are translated into 22 languages so he's pretty financially independent. Large part of his income is donated to projects in Africa. |
1999,
