Hey there, I'm Therese Stevens, from Boston, Massachusetts. A certified travel bug, I love traveling to different parts of the world, and of course being a lady, I'm in love with shopping and dining fancy dishes. I definitely enjoy experiencing new cultures and tasting delish gourmet dishes.
By the way, I'm a true blue website designer. See you around!
I'm American not Surinamer, but was there between `61 and `67. My dad went down with Suralco. I lived in Parmaribo, Afobaka and Paranam.

Hi
I was in Suriname from 1959-1963 when I was 10-14 years old.I'm writing a book about growing up there, then. I've had help from an antropologist who worked there at the time, with information on the Maroon tribes. I'm also, of course, using online resources, such as they are. Most of what I am getting though, is on either before the period I'm writing about, or post independence.
What I would most like would be to have the opportunity to email back and forth with others who lived there at the time I did. I was only a child at the time, with only a child's memories and perceptions. It would be very helpful to be able to talk with others, and employ some of their memories and perceptions of those years, as well, in the writing of the book. The time period I am writing about was the five year period from 1958-1963 when Mr. Emanuels was Premier.
I see those years as a great social experiment. An attempt to form a society where people of various races and cultures could form, not so much a melting pot, as a mosaic, where everyone could live in harmony, working towards a society free from poverty, free from bigotry. That it ultimately failed does not negate the value of the experiment itself. It is a piece of history that I think people from all over the world could benefit from hearing. It will be of no value, though, if it is not accurate. To make it accurate I need input from others who lived there during those years.
I live in CA too, in the high desert, above the Cochella Valley, above the Palm Springs area. I lived for years in Northern California, before moving down here, as well though.
If you have any relatives or friends who lived in Suriname in those years I would love to have the opportunity to email with them.
As for friends here in CA, I am always happy to meet new friends, though I suspect from you posting, that I am old enough to be your grandmother lol.
I would love to hear from you.

Hi Queen LC
My great great grandmother, Augusta Magdalena Ligeon, is one of the four children the plantation was named after. I am still learning more about the family myself. I'm at a disadvantage to do this, living in Australia myself. I do not recall anything about a Frits Mack Nack so far in my research. I'll need to look further to find Manjo in my research also. Sno and cairo are definitely names connected to my research. One of my cousins is married to man surnamed Felter, from Surinam origins.
The siblings I have of Augusta are Adolf, Matheus and Josephina. Their mother was Elisabeth Ligeon. Elisabeth's mother was Dorothea Ligeon.
Our family are Brijbag's and Nijbroek's.
I don't know much about Suriname but love to travel.
Hope you have a great time and have a look at this Orchids Blog. I think it will give you some good idea.
All the best,
William

Hi brad2376
Wow. That's a lot of great information. Can I ask how you know these things please? I know that I've been searching for information like this for a few months now and I have posted a few enquiries online -- both here and elsewhere -- but I don't think I included all of the details that you have above. I also have a lot of documentation that I've posted on Ancestry -- including the Barbados passport part. However, you seem also to be including details that I haven't posted elsewhere. Are you perhaps related to this family too? Some new things that I learned recently are that Dr Bradley had an office in Ellicott Square in Buffalo, NY in 1914 and that he listed his residential address as 60 Oxford Ave (though the only family that I could find living at that address was one with last name Stephan -- so that's kind of a dead end). He also had a business at Ellicott Square in 1913 Buffalo Directory -- called the Cottica Rubber and Coffee Co (Wm H Bradley prop). Since his plantation Mon Sort was on the Cottica, this could be no one other than him. I also found an article from Washington Post 1909 describing a man named Eugene Henry Teats' involvement with the Eddie Guerin escape. In the article, Teats mentions that he had been working in Dutch Guiana for the past 16 years with a Dr W. H Bradley -- formerly of Colorado -- and that they together held more than 100 000 acres of mining concessions both in Dutch and French Guiana. This last bit of information leads me to search for records of Dr Bradley in Colorado -- though I have not found anything definite there yet (and it conflicts with the 1900 census record for Schuyler Cty, NY that I found previously. The two pieces of corroborating evidence that I have for this are the facts that there is a man named Teats mentioned in "Jungle Gold" and that I was able to obtain a record from the American Medical Association for a man named William Henry Bradley (born in 1862) who was recorded as practicing medicine in Colorado 1881, Michigan 1881, Illinois 1894 and Buffalo 1914. Do you happen to know anything more about these 2 pieces of information? I'd love to know who you are and how you happen to know so much about Dr Bradley -- and I'm really hoping that you haven't just found this stuff out from other work that I have posted online. I think you know too many details for you to have gathered these things up from my own postings though, but I am baffled how you could know so much about the family unless you're actually part of it. I'd love for you to email me directly so that we can discuss this more privately. Please send a note to ian_george_ab@yahoo.ca . I'm truly fascinated by this connection we've made.

An international court lessens the risk of a biased judge and a prejudiced decision. If you want the civil procedure to be interpreted correctly, you'd be glad of having this forum too.

It has been used both ways in english. but technically the correct name is "Republic of Suriname" in english.
Just like in Suriname some use Sranan and others use Sranang....
We also do this type of thing for example: USA, United States, United States of America, America and so on... When it comes to language there are rules, rules are made to be broken, and sometimes breaken them infuences the language over time.
So you'd expect, in a book written in English, to find "Surinam"?
The name, Suriname, may derive from a Taino (Arawak-speaking) group called "Surinen" who first inhabited the region prior to European arrival.[citation needed]
Originally, the country was spelled Surinam by English settlers who founded the first colony at Marshall's Creek,[6] along the Suriname River, and was formerly known as Nederlands Guyana, Netherlands Guiana or Dutch Guiana. "Surinam" can still be found in English. A notable example of this is Suriname's own national airline, Surinam Airways. The older English name is reflected in the English pronunciation of "Suriname", /ˈsʊrəˌnæm/ or /ˈsʊrəˌnɑm/. In Dutch, the official language of Suriname, the pronunciation is /ˌsyriˈnamə/, with the main stress on the third syllable.
This is from wikipedia (The opensource encyclopeadia
The official name is Suriname. However, historically the name Surinam has been used primarily in context of english usage. For instance, Surinam Airways the official ariline of Suriname uses it without the (e). The official name of Germany is Deutschland, but is Suriname we call it Duitsland. If one wants to be precise in Dutch it should be referred to as Suriname. In English it technically is Suriname also. In many old english movies and books it is referred to as Surinam.
I guess if the official language is changed to sranan(g) tongo we would have to call it sranan or sranang..... which is it?
The Name 'Bisnajak' has 9 listings in the Suriname phone book.

Hi Ian,
I read with interest the information you've found on WH Bradley. I may be able to add some parts to the puzzle. There were 5 children: Alice, Eileen, William, Lyster, and Enid who did
not survive childhood and is buried at Parmaribo. William was the last to survive, and he passed away in 2003 in
Vancouver, B.C., Canada.
Mary was actually born in Portugal, and was one of the servants on Dr. Bradley's estate.
Dr. Bradley's wife (don't know her name) was legally insane, and at that time he was
unable to divorce her, and he therefore just carried on an affair of several years with Mary. It is believed that after his death, that she convinced someone in authority that they had been married, and she and the children all assumed his last name. She also managed to convince someone that she was born in British Guyana, so she could get a British passport. For reason's I haven't been able to ascertain, she entered Canada on a passport from Barbados, which both countries at the time being British colonies would have allowed her access to Canada.
Dr. Bradley had always promised her that he would take her back to the US, but it is
believed that he got himself in some trouble with the US Government and was unable to return to the US. He was involved in some form of racketeering, and was somehow involved with Eddie Guerin and the escape from
Devil's Island prison.
In terms of the estate of WH Bradley -- I have no idea what became of his holdings. Mary (who went by the name "May), left with her 4 surviving children under a veil of secrecy with many forged documents. It is unlikely that she or any of the children were entitled to any of WH Bradley's holdings. They ended up in Canada because they had relatives who could care for them, and help them become established, and because they were unable to go to the US. I don't know if they had any contact with WH Bradley's family in Indiana.
Alice married an American, and lived most of her life in the NorthEast of the US. Eileen lived in British Columbia and Alberta. Lyster became a mountie, and spent most of his life in Western Canada. William worked for the Canadian National Railway and lived just about everywhere in Canada. He raised his family first in Edmonton, and then in Vancouver. Mary lived with William in Edmonton until she passed away sometime in the 1950s.
Hope this helps...
