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. http://www.archive.org/stream/yearbookofleague02leveuoft/yearbookofleague02leveuoft_djvu.txt Thanks in advance for any help! Yours sincerely, Erik Ribsskog ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: J.P. Slight <jps50@cam.ac.uk> Date: Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 12:07 PM Subject: Re: FW: About Diderik Galtrup Gjedde Nyholm, judge in British imperial Egypt To: eribsskog@gmail.com 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.

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.
