Dad got a letter returned today, from Amsterdam. On the envelope it says: Vertrokken.
What does that mean????

Moved ?????
Just an opinion, I don't speak Dutch...
In German it would be "Umgezogen" -

Hi Mulan, I don't speak Dutch but I do speak German and the languages are a little similar. Anyway, it just means that the people you sent the letter to have moved. I guess you need to get a new address.
