<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2127313, member: 19463&quot;]Tell the seller who used the word on the envelope:&nbsp; Scheemda, Holland.&nbsp; It does say Nederland on the stamp.&nbsp; Should we stop saying Netherlands?&nbsp; Looking it up I see that his village is in the province Groningen or at least there is one by that name there.&nbsp; I once was told that there were 34 states in the US that have a town named Springfield so I really have no idea now many places in another country share names.&nbsp; I learned long ago to be careful in such matters.&nbsp; I had a friend from Cornwall who strongly insisted that he lived in the UK but really hated the term England.&nbsp;&nbsp; By the way, I currently live about the same distance from Richmond, Virginia, that I was born from Richmond, Indiana.&nbsp; I suppose it is asking too much for namers of towns to be original.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
