Biography

I was born in Schiedam in the Netherlands but grew up trilingually in South Africa. (Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Pietersburg and Johannesburg). My roots lie on the island of Texel dating back to the 1600's. My ancestors from Texel mainly lived in the village of Oudeschild where the ships of the VOC were anchored at sea before leaving for the Cape. One of my ancestors from Texel is the VOC surgeon Caspar Ziervogel who was born in Sweden. Through him I am related to the Ziervogel family in South Africa, Germany and Sweden. Like many Dutch people I have extensive German roots.

Ik ben geboren in Schiedam, maar ben drietalig opgegroeid in Zuid-Afrika. (Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Pietersburg en Johannesburg). Mijn wortels liggen op het eiland Texel. Mijn voorouders woonden voornamelijk in het dorp Oudeschild waar de schepen van de VOC voor anker gingen op zee voordat ze naar de Kaap vertrokken. Een van mijn voorouders uit Texel is de in Zweden geboren VOC-chirurg Caspar Ziervogel. Via hem ben ik familie van de familie Ziervogel in Zuid-Afrika, Duitsland en Zweden. Zoals veel Nederlanders heb ik uitgebreide Duitse roots.

Ek kan Afrikaans lees en skrywe en natuurlik praat.
