Dear
Mr. Ribsskog,



I
have forwarded your e-mail on to our Advice & Records Knowledge dept. (ARK)
who may be able to offer some advice to you. This department does not undertake
any research. Should you get the information you require you can obtain copies
of documents and I have included the instructions for that below:



In response to your query it is our policy to issue
formal estimates prior to undertaking any copying work. You can request an
estimate for copies through our website or by post. The web address for the
terms and conditions, order form and links to other information such as pricing
and target times, is as follows: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/recordcopying/
- for a postal request please e-mail us your postal address and we will
send you a form to complete and return.



There is a four stage process:



1. We receive an estimate request from you. 2. Within 10
WORKING days we will send you full details of the cost of the copies requested
with instructions on how to process with an order.


3. Should you decide to proceed with an order we will
commence work once payment has been received.


4. We will dispatch the copies to you within our
published target delivery times. Please read our terms and conditions available
on our page on the website at the link below, or on the reverse of the form if
you have requested the postal method (see below). http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/legal/recordcopying.htm


***When ordering by internet, please add our e-mail
address to your address book; this allows your system to recognise our
automated e-mails as acceptable
*** mailto:recordcopyingenquiries@nationalarchives.gov.uk


The National Archives hold in excess of 10 million
documents, some of which are a thousand years old. Many of these items contain
hundreds of pages referring to different people or events. All documents
are stored in our repositories under special conditions and need to be ordered
for estimation.


Each estimate process involves ordering up to five
documents from storage and spending twenty minutes searching through them to
find the information you require. We count how many pages need to be copied and
decide the copying process that would be required to produce the copies. Please
provide as much information as you can about the material you wish us to copy
(such as names, places and dates) this enables us to identify the correct
material. If you find that your document reference contains three sets of
digits in addition to the letters and is not accepted by the form, please check
the 'help' link beside the document reference box. You may have to leave the
last set of digits off and put those into the box designed for descriptions.

Please note that the Record copying Section does not carry out research as
such. You describe what you seek and we find it and count the pages. Actual
research questions should be sent to: www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/contact/form
select 'Records/research enquiries@nationalarchives.gov.uk'
and click the 'Contact form' button.


For any other information please use recordcopyingenquiries@nationalarchives.gov.uk


If you have any other queries regarding the copy order
process please do not hesitate to contact us.



Yours sincerely,

from Denmark/Fwd: FW: About Diderik Galtrup Gjedde Nyholm, judge in British
imperial Egypt




Hi,






I'm a Norwegian citizen, living in the UK.







I was adviced by the University of Cambridge, to contact
you.






It's regarding my ancestor, Didrik Galtrup Gjedde Nyholm, from Denmark, who was
my grandmother, Ingeborg Ribsskog's grand-uncle.







He worked in an international court in Cairo, and I was just
wondering if I have illuminists/kabalists, in my family, so I was wondering if
he stated any interests in old egyptian religion etc., when he got the job as a
judge in Cairo?







Since I have so many 'New Age'-people in my family, and my
grandmother was also 'New Age', so I was wondering if the judge was 'New Age',
since the judge's brother, my grandmoters grandfather, the general Anders
(Gjedde) Nyholm, was in charge of all of Denmarks war-forces, (chief of the
generalkommando), in the 1920's, so I was wondering if he or someone in my
family, where 'New Age "spies"'.







Here is more about Didrik Galtrup Gjedde Nyholm:







SECOND YEAR BOOK OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.



DIDRIK GALTRUP GJEDDE NYHOLM (Denmark).

Member of the International Mixed Tribunal at
Cairo since


1896 and Vice-President of that body since 1916;
Justice of


the Court of Appeals at Copenhagen; member of the
Perma-


nent Court of Arbitration at The Hague; author of
one of the


draft schemes for an International Court of
Justice used by


the Committee of International Jurists as a basis
for the


scheme finally adopted by the League.











Thanks
in advance for any help!







Yours
sincerely,






Erik Ribsskog

Dear Erik,


My
PhD supervisor Dr. Harper forwarded your email to me.


I
think you should visit the National Archives in person and explain to them the
person you are looking for - the staff are very good and you may find something
there.


In
Egypt, and many parts of the British Empire, non-British Europeans often filled
positions such as judges. The British were only concerned to exclude natives of
the country they were ruling (at least until the later nineteenth century).
Particularly in the Egyptian case there was a long precedent of Europeans
holding positions of power (Egypt's ruler in the early nineteenth century
Muhammad Ali was Albanian, and many Europeans were employed in the finance
ministry, the judiciary, the police force, and especially the Army). I hope
this answers your question.



With
best wishes,


John
Slight

Hi,






I'm
a Norwegian citizen, who's living in the UK, (due to problems with my family
etc., without that I've done anything wrong, that I know of, at least, in
Norway), and I have a late grandmoter from Denmark, Ingeborg Ribsskog, who said
that she was from the Danish noble-family Gjedde.






But I've later found out, on the internet, that they weren't noble after all,
so this was a lie, I think I have to say.






And, in her family, was eg. her grandfather, her mothers father, Anders Gjedde
Nyholm, who was Chief of the Generalkommando, that's the general with control
on all of Denmarks war-forces, in the 1920's.







And
her grand-uncle, was Diderik Galtrup Gjedde Nyholm, who was a judge, for the
British imperial courts, in Cairo, and then later a judge in the International
Court, in Hague, in the 1920's.







I
wonder why they would lie about the noble backgroud.






Anders Gjedde Nyholm, only wrote A. Nyholm, I've seen, as a signature, on
official portrait-photographs in the Danish military-archives.







And
their grandfather, was a farmers son, I've read on Thisted Museum's, in
Denmark's, website.







So
they weren't noble, but they maybe used the Gjedde-name to get prestige,
because of the famous Admiral and colonisator of Tharambangdi, in India,
for Denmark-Norway, Ove Gjedde, was famous, and maybe they pretended to be from
the same family?







I've
tried to serch the British National Archives online, about this, but I got no
result, so I didn't know how to try to find out about this, other than
contacting a good university.







I
was wondering why the British Imperial Courts in Cairo, would let a Dane, (my
grandmothers grand-uncle), Diderik Galtrup Gjedde Nyholm, be a judge, in the
British Empire?






Isn't this a bit strange, weren't this positions normally given to people from
the British Empire?







I
hope you have the chance to answer about this, or that you know of someone who
might know about this!







I
hope it's alright to ask about this, and I apologise, if it isn't.







Yours
sincerely,






Erik Ribsskog
