Hi Alixz,

Why do you want to read Dutch?

Alixz,

Thanks for sharing the story on your grandparents. I like the way your grandfather called you liebchen. When people have from origin an other native language they often express themselves in that language when being angry or showing affection. Like my father- he's from Suriname- always scolded us or called us by our pet names in his own language, tho we speak normally Dutch.
Yes, Dutch and German sometimes sounds alike, so it's very easy to pic up.
As for the quote I don't know who wrote it, let's say anonymous.

It's been a real pleasure looking over the posts on this thread.  This really is an international forum!

I'm of English, Irish and Slovak ancestry.  Originally from Fairfield, Connecticut -- been living in the Windy City for fifteen years now.  Also lived for three years in the little town of St. Leon, Germany (near Speyer).

My nearest connection to royalty is my Great Aunt Kitty who worked as a laundress in Buckingham Palace in the reign of George V.

Thanks, Georgiy!  I'm definitely (and proudly) of "below-stairs" stock!

Welcome Julia.Montague!  When I was a child I lived in the town of St. Leon in what was then West Germany.

Welcome Norechka - I see this is your very first posting.   I am sure you will find many things of interest in the Alexander Palace Discussion Forum.

Irish mother, you say? That's interesting - I'm Irish myself, you see.

Wow, I didn't know there even were any Irish Romanov lovers  :) My mother is from Mullingar originally. As a child, I spent lots of summers in Dublin with my grandmother.

Thanks for welcoming me. I have to confess I've been lurking here for a while but I thought I'd finally become official  ;)

I think I'm just about the only Irish royalist on these boards - or in the world!  ;D I come from Dublin.
