Hello List Geoff said: For some years, I have been trying to trace my late brother-in-law Roy Ezekiel Minjoot or Menjou, who I presume had his "roots" in Singapore and Malaysia. Following Ron's advice to Google, this link came up http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/SINGAPORE/2007-01/1169251732 which advises that the original Minjoot was a Dutch man who travelled to Malacca The FIBIS Fibiwiki Malacca http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Malacca has a link to the website of the Malaysian Dutch Descendants Project which also includes "History of the Dutch and Dutch-Eurasians in Malaysia" Cheers Maureen (Sydney)
