I am looking for any connection to the relatives of Rosa FASSIEAUX who lived at the following address in November 1918: Rue des trois Hurees. No. 1/11 106 Jemappes Belgique Hainault ( ez Mons) The address is from a letter written in January 1919 by Rosa Fassieaux to the family of a Canadian soldier who was killed near Jemappes on Nov. 10, 1918. The soldier stayed with the Fassieaux family on Nov. 9 and they showed him great kindness and hospitality. Most important, they provided a coffin and flowers for his funeral and tended his grave in the Jemappes cemetery near their house. The soldier's relatives would like to know if there are any descendants of that family. His nephew is still alive and is interested in what happened to his uncle that day. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Scott Howarth Toronto, Canada
