Subject: Fw: Simon Linde of New England was really Simon van der Linde
Date: Sat, 30 May 2009 10:34:24 +1000
Dear Will,
I think you are being silly. Joost said he had not seen the name Enoch in
The Netherlands, meaning amongst Dutch people. Why should there be a Dutch
equivalent?
No doubt in the Dutch bible the name Enoch will be found, but the bible has
nothing to do with Dutch genealogy.
Are you saying that Babylon should have a Dutch equivalent because it is
talked about in the Dutch language bible?

Leo stop being silly.
It's clear that I meant, "what is the equivalent Dutch name for
Enoch?"
That question does not pertain TO the Bible. It pertains to names.
So open your Bible, find that passage and tell us what the name there
given... is. In Dutch or Flemish, or whatever.
People name their children after Bible characters. They did it in
England, Spain, France, I'm sure they did it in Flanders as well.
