Sorry to have made you jealous :) but indee...@Wendy<br />Sorry to have made you jealous :) but indeed the register was a pleasant surprise to have all this first hand information. It also created clarity as to the spelling of the surname Koelinga. The dried material was an extra bonus.<br />And Wendy, thank you for following my blog!<br />@Little Nell<br />You may very well be right, there was no trace of anything on the page. As to the why, that'll remain guesswork I'm afraid.<br /><br />Thank you both for your comments.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512412669995490110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154371958497635946.post-66497160247353109392012-09-26T14:39:55.684+02:002012-09-26T14:39:55.684+02:00I expect the flowers were put there after they had...I expect the flowers were put there after they had been pressed and dried elsewhere, or the pages would have been affected.

You must have felt much like an archaeologist when the leaves and violets slipped into view. Little discoveries reveal so much about people we know little about other than their significant dates recorded in a Bible.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
