Zwagerbos village (Sweagerbosk)

Zwagerbos / Sweagerbosk - "Flag: A green field with a Scandinavian cross; at the intersection of the cross a red square.
Colors: Clear-green, clear-red, and white.
I've skipped the literal translation; it is very cumbersome and incomprehensible, especially as in the epilogue the name "Scandinavisch kruis" is used. Green in the flag refers to the "bos", forest, after which the village is named. Nickname: Boskjemannen, referring to the hair of the male inhabitants, comparing them to the "Bosjesmannen", Bushmen in South Africa. Use nickname only in neighbouring villages!

Zwagerbos Coat of Arms

from Ralf Hartemink's site.

Registered in the Genealogysk Jierboek 1976.
The forest ("bos") in the villagename is represented in two trees. The red color is for heather. On the heather sheep were grazing, represented on the coat of arms with shears, while the bees seeking honey have also been placed on the arms.
