looking for Belgium roots last name Gany

Classification: Lookup
Surnames: Gany, Van Snick, Van Snik
My great grandfather Florean Gany was born in Belgium on 2 January 1887. He died in New Waterford, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1942. He worked as a coal miner in Joggins Nova Scotia before moving to New Waterford. He married Augustinian VanSnick or Van Snik I believe was her name. They had 4 children that I know of, Joseph, Emile, Flora, and Mary. On the death certificate of his son Emile, Florean wrote that both he and Augustinian were born in Belgium and that they were Flemish.
Any help with my family history would be greatly appreciated.
