My ggm, Philomena, was born in Belgium, place unknown, in January 1842. She married August Baele and had at least 3 children, my gm Mary, Victorine and Charles Baele. August must have died and she married Pierre DePreker and had another family. Her date & place of death are unknown. I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks & God Bless

The information I have was sent to my inlaws, Phillip & Marian Hutsebaut, by Evelyn DePreker Pryor who was researching her family genealogy. Evelyn is from Torrance, CA jpryor1@ix.netcom.com 310-316-6684

Philomena (Minny) DePreker married Pierre DePreker around 1870. There is no mention of a first husband as you mentioned in your posting. Philomena was born in January 1842 in Belgium and died around 1900 in Paterson, NJ.

They had six children:

Charles b.May 1872 in Alsaac-Lorraine, France
Victorine b. 1874 in Alsaac-Lorraine d. New Haven, CT.
Married name was Warren
Mary b. 1876 d. Paterson,Passiac, NJ
John Francis b. March 3, 1879 in Alsaac-Lorraine d. Feb 3, 1946 Paterson, Passaic, NJ
spouses - Ernestine (Tieney) Hutsebaut, Isabel Dale and Carolyn Witt
Peter b. Sept 1, 1882 in Alsaac-Lorraine
August A. b. Aug 1885 in Alsaac-Lorraine married in 1900 to Julia Murphy.

I hope this has helped.

Do you have any information about the Hutsebaut name?
Doc

I would love to know more about your Hutsebaut branch of the family. I have done extensive research on the Vanderspiegel family which is Ernestine "Tieney" Hutsebaut's mother's family. I have had no luck finding a manifest for the Hutsebauts arrival in this country. Have you found a manifest? According to his citizenship papers Desire Hutsebaut arrived in NY on Aug 24, 1887, but there seems to be no record of it. (Victorine Vanderspiegel Hutsebaut's brothers and sisters all came between 1887 & 1889.) I've tried many different spellings (often mis-spelled Hutsebant). Still no luck.

I have a photo of the Hutsebaut grave in Paterson if you don't have it.

From which part of the Hutsebaut family are you connected. I don't have a Sue on any of my charts. I'd love to fill in more of my Hutsebaut families.

I look forward to hearing from you.
