Grön Diep or Grön-kanaal?

Legg inn av Greg Korbee » 10 mar 2005 08:36:06

In a 1730 marriage record from the Cape (South Africa) the Danish placename
"Grön Diep" is referred to. (Apparently this means "Grön-kanaal" in
Afrikaans.) I think it's possible that the name "Grön Diep" is a dutchified
version of the actual place name.

I cannot find anything similar to "Grön Diep" on the internet. Does anyone
perhaps immediately recognise what this place might be called today?

All answers are much appreciated.

Hi..

There is no such place in Denmark, however, the translation of
"Gruen-kanaal" COULD be GRØNBÆK,
(or Grönbaek) and there is such a parish on the peninsula of Jylland here in
Denmark.

Kind regards,

Or Grønsund - between the islands Moen and Falster. Once you could get by
ferry from Groensund faergekro on Falster to Haarboelle on Moen.
