Since a few years we have been in touch with Diederik van Romondt (26) who lives in the Hague, The Netherlands http://www.thehague.nl/default.asp?id=DOORWAYNEWS-uk

Diederik is currently a student at the University in Amsterdam and studies Art History and is very much interested in the VR-Research Project. He has also done some research about the van Romondt family and gathered many information.

Diederik was so kind to provide us with this collection consisting of several family pictures, death certificate of his grandmother Lia van Romondt-Snel, death-announcement of William Hermann Anthon van Romondt, birthcertifcate of his grandmother Lia van Romondt-Snel and father Robert van Romondt, death certificate of his grandfather Harold Everard van Romondt.

His collection also consists of the painting of his sister Anjuli van Romondt were she remembers their grandfather Harold Everard van Romondt.

His ancestors were born in Sint Maarten, moved to Curacao N.A., Surinam, The Netherlands and Indonesia. Diederik's father was born in Indonesia and his grandfather Harold Evert van Romondt was in the Dutch Army and died during the 2nd World War. Soon we will write a piece on Harold Evert van Romondt and the Indonesian van Romondt branches.

Diederik on behalf of the VR-Research Project we would like to thank you for sharing your collection and welcome the " Diederik van Romondt Collection" to our VR-Research.
