What's your forefathers last name?

My father's mother's maiden name was Meeker. They were the ones from der Netherlands.

Who not come to The Netherlands?

We got drugs, hookers and immigrants

You might feel right at home.

Other than that we're known for tulips, mills and wooden shoes (??).

So if you want a good ol time, come visit! I'll even give you a tour. Just leave the guns at home because we dont allow that kind of toys over here!

I visited there long before you were born. Even had a girlfriend in Utrecht.

Not a common name.

Very different country back then Did you like it?

Not a common name.

Well, it was literally 200+ years ago. Pre American Revolution.

That is a long time ago for sure

I meant to say that since it's not very common I cant really say 'yep thats Dutch for sure"
Some names are so unmistakably Dutch that they always make me smile. To name a few: Roosevelt, VanDyke / VanDijk, Van Halen, VanBuren, Van Cleef, Van Zandt. Basicly everthing that starts with Van is of Dutch origin

No matter where ya go, there ya are. Every country has it's crap to deal with. If you're thinking Canada with mountains, beaches, desert I'd suggest the Okanagan although it does get cold there. Doesn't that Okanagan valley extend down into the states?, you wouldn't even have to change countries.

The dam I work at sells power to and our dispatchers take the public calls from Okanogan county. Central Washington. The town of Okanogan is pretty ghetto from what I've seen, but there's some pretty country around there. Especially the Methow Valley.
