I googled 'celtic' and 'netherlands' and 'toorians' and discovered he
lived in the Netherlands, which I sort of had guessed already. Then I
thought perhaps you had a particular reference in mind, so I asked.

Something like this?
http://www.angelfire.com/me/ik/kelt.html
'Opmerkingen van dhr. P. Schrijver (Rijksuniversiteit Leiden): "Met de
vraag Keltisch of Germaans is de kous niet af. Er zijn allerlei
aanwijzingen dat er nog heel andere talen gesproken werden die niet
Keltisch of Germaans, of Indo-Europees zijn. ..."'

It seems you haven't got Schrijver on board quite yet.
