What are the physical features of the Netherlands?

Who are the Dutch genetically related to?

I know a bit of English, French and Italian, German and Russian I can read with.

some effort. But this is a little beyond me to get anywhere. So I have to rely
On translation. It seems there are a good many families (not all that distant) of Germanic or Frisian descent that trace back to the dutch. Linden(sp?) trees in the area where they lived or lived there long enough for. Their children and other descendants to still speak dutch. Not only in NL. Or at
Least where I know them. Perhaps other descendants would have other ideas about the origins of the dutch or dutch-sounding ancestry. Which, I was quite surprised by, because we could trace Germans right till the end of WWII. Somehow I was curious about this and tried searching Indian history databases. To my surprise German wasn't all that common a surname in India. The next place to look was Jewish migration. There wasn't as much of migration between India and europe as there were to the USA, Canada, Australia, Israel. Etc. But then I found out that a small set of surnames are quite common in Israel. Like: Ben Gurion, Zvi, Herzog, Goldsmith, Meyer, Rothschild, Sassoon etc. So most likely there is a real connection between this set of European So its possible that there is a group of people in Asia-Pacific region who are. Descendants of Dutch settlers who ended up somewhere else some 4000 years ago.
