A quest before the real quest.

Category: Leisure time and hobbies

One of my hobbies is researching my family tree/~history. A hobby that starts with asking questions and recording information about living relatives and recently deceased people whose memories are still fresh. Then begins the quest for dates, information, sources, photos, etc.

But what is the best practice of processing and storing that data?
In other words, a quest for software with the right features and that works for you!

Lately, it's been very very quiet here. But something has changed! Until recently this site was hosted at Combell, but this provider became very expensive and with the last few support request we felt they didn´t take it seriously and nothing got solved.So we started looking for another hosting provider and ended up moving our site to Theory7.net.

Well, it's taken a while, but we're slowly opening up our new site!After quite a few months of learning to work with the Joomla CMS script and searching / learning the necessary extensions, we started filling our webshop with our second hand stuff and a few things from our hobbies. .Of course there were a few things that came in between, such as life, work and health... But it should now be at a point where we can open things up.

Music Maestro, Please!

As a child, I loved listening to music. I always found my father's record collection very interesting. Although I could not really appreciate classical music at the time, I was impressed by the country albums and also a live album by Rod McKuen (Later on in life I found this album on CD).

This recipe was sent to me a couple years ago by Twitter (now X) friends.A variation on our dutch pea soup. Just as firm, just as tasty but just a little more spicy. And something different for a change! 😄

What is pyrography
Pyrography
19-Jul-2023
 Frank
The word comes from the Greek “pur” (fire) and “graphos” (writing), meaning writing with fire. In modern practise, this is more drawing than writing, with some artists creating truly fantastic pieces of art.

An artist who has been at the top of my list of favorites for years is Danny Kaye. A born entertainer in the field of movies and music. Even his presence in programs or concerts brought at least a smile to many people's faces. For example, I mention his participation in the muppet show, which has been captured on video by many fans. And of course his commitment and added value to Unicef ​​will never be forgotten by this organization.

Anthem of Zeelandic Flanders
Zeelandic Flanders
27-Mar-2018
 Frank
Perhaps known to some: We are from Zeeuws-Vlaanderen or Zeelandic Flanders in English. Born and raised.A beautiful piece of the Netherlands. Separated by the Western Scheldt and also divided into east and west by the canal from Ghent to Terneuzen or from Terneuzen to Ghent if you prefer.😉 An area with history, different dialects, beautiful places and proud citizens (who often tend more towards Flemish than Zeeland despite the lyrics in the national anthem). And we cherish a love/hate relationship with the Belgians AND the Dutch, yes even with the Germans. 😛

Flag of Zeelandic Flanders
Zeelandic Flanders
25-Jan-2015
 Frank
Zeeuws-Vlaanderen (Zeelandic Flanders), the northwestern part of historic Flanders, is the southernmost part of the Dutch Province of Zeeland. The region is separated from the rest of Zeeland by the estuary of the Westerschelde and has land borders with Belgium only. Since the administrative reformation of 2003, Zeeuws-Vlaanderen is made of the three municipalities of Hulst, Sluis and Terneuzen. On 6 January 2009, René Hoonhorst reports in “PZC” (Provinciale Zeeuwsche Courant) the official presentation of the flag of Zeelandic Flanders, held on 5 January in Terneuzen. The flag was designed by the expert in heraldry Dingeman de Koning, from Axel...

Have you ever thought about the human body? If so, what do you think? If not, don't do it! Now you might think what kind of nonsense is this here?For those who don't mind wasting their time reading nonsense, I hereby invite you to read my nonsensical experiences with my own body and my thoughts on human evolution. Of one thing I'm convinced: something went wrong somewhere!

On a day like today, rain & strong wind, I always feel like something savory and comforting. So I looked up an old recipe. It is one of the many variations of a Flemish flan recipe, which is called a Fair flan here in the region.

About DaniFra

Welcome to DaniFra.com!
The renewed site where Daniella's second-hand shop is combined with Frank's weblog. Hence the name DaniFra. 😉 A site where we will also try to sell some results of our (creative) hobbies. Such as the results of, for example, pyrography, casting of soaps, working/playing with watercolor paint and pencils and results of Narrow or Canal Boat Art (also called Castles and Roses).

In the shop section of our site you will also find some second-hand books, magazines and/or other items that we no longer need or that we found while browsing around. Everything second-hand, but still in such good condition that it can still be used. (The condition that an item is in is also clearly stated in the description).

In the weblog section we will post articles about our hobbies and matters that interest us. We also dedicated a blog category to the region we live: Zeelandic Flanders.

Browse around on our site, we hope you like it and will come back! 😎

But please note:

We are NOT  a commercial company, this is just a site for our creative hobbies and the fun we have snooping around on jumble sales and such.
You could look upon our site as our on-line car-boot spot! 😉

Greetings from Daniella & Frank
